Hi!

if my employer has filed my I-140 in EB1A and I have quit the employer and if my I-140 petition gets approved, what are my options? Can my current employer continue the petition and file my green card in same category?

An EB1A is a self petition, therefore, provided you are still engaged in your field of extraordinary ability, the green card process can continue despite changes in your employment.
