AC21 portability on 485

Hi,

I am considering switching jobs. My 485 was filed with the California center in April 2002. My wife was added to my case in March 2003.

First question is can I quit my job and move to another one or does this apply only if I get laid off? My lawyer says I cannot quit, but I wanted a second opinion to clarify the rule.

Second, if I quit, will this affect my wife's gc in any way, since she has not completed 180 days. I don't think it matters since I am the primary applicant, but I just want to make sure.

Thanks
gianduia :)

---YOU CAN SWITCH JOBS USING AC21, BUT THE NEW JOB HAS TO BE SAME OR SIMILAR.

--- DOESN'T AFFECT
