I485, Company going out of business?

Hi, everyone. I filed I485 four months ago. My sponsorship company is in bad
financial situation, and I am afraid that I might loose my job. Hopefully, INS will
publish new regulation under which I will be able to switch my employer in two months
(that is if my company makes it that long).
My questions are:
1. Will I need approved EAD in order to change a job at that stage, or I can start
working as soon as apply for one? I am asking because EAD in takes more than 3
months in VSC, and I still didn't apply for it.
2. What are the chances that my I485 will be rejected anyway (even if I make it for
another two months) because of bad financial situation and possible bankruptcy of
my sponsorship company?
Thanks for any answer.

The regulation is already approved, but you are right - you can switch only in 183
days after you've filed your I485. I think the I485 stage is not about your company,
so it's unlikely that you'll be rejected. From what I've heard, it takes 3 to 6
months to get invited for finger prints. -b

A law has been passed, but regulations have not yet been issued. This makes it risky
for I-485 applicants to take advantage of the provision. Your case seems so urgent
that the risk may be worth it.

106(c).

The EAD must be approved for you to go on the payroll of a company, unless
that company previously obtained H-1B status for you (or some other temporary
work status).

However, if you cease being employed by the company before the I-485 is approved, you
will be in a risky position with respect to future benefits you seek from INS, even
entering the U.S. after a trip abroad.
