I140 approved - query on employer change

[subramania_v]

I am on H1B, my I140 was approved on Feb 2014. While being considered for a new employment the new company is insisting that i wait for 180 days after the I140 is approved for them to take me in.

Please note my H1B has been renewed for 3 years till 2017 with the I140.

Kindly confirm whether it is a compulsory rule that I can change employer only after 180 days of I140 being approved.
