As long as the employer does not revoke your I-140, your application is valid.

But when your priority date becomes current, you can file I-485 only when you have docs to show that you are still employed with your sponsor.

Again, if you choose another employer to continue your green card processing, you can retain your earlier priority date.

One needs more specific Information. Does Your GC sponsor intend to have you work for them in future when the GC is approved?

Well for EB3 and EB2, the GC is tied to your company. You could continue using Consular processing if your current company will hire you back. Or file a new labor/I140 with another company that can do CP and transfer PD.

If you're planning on working in India, why do you want to come back to the US?

@Tony, what do you mean by consular processing?

@northwest.bobby

when a person is not present in the US, they cannot file for I-485, instead file for consular processing (CP) that involves attending an interveiw at the home-consulate/embassy and getting a green card approval. for more information on this, read up on Consular Processing from the internet.
