My current company supports the GC applications of mine and my wife's: I140 has been approved, I485 have been pending for more than 180 days. If I take another job in a different city, MUST I call NSC to update the address??? My wife will stay in our current address to finish her graduate study for one more year.

The jobs are similar, but I don't want to file AC21 unless NSC sends RFE, will the address change to different city cause a RFE? What is the best way should I do in this situation? Thanks a lot.

All non citizens have to report change of address. That is the law.
 
Filing AR-11 with your current physical address is mandatory for all non-citizen immigrants. However, providing your physical address to service center (in context to your I-485 application) is not mandatory. You can give a contact address where you can receive your mails (USCIS letters don't get forwarded, but they return back to USCIS). As you mentioned that your wife is going to live at your current address for sometime, you do not need to update NSC. Let your wife receive all the NSC letters. But you need to file AR-11 with your new address.
 
So AR11 & Service Center Address Update are two totally different things, and the service center won't know your address change from AR-11???

It's not required by law. Only issue is that if you don't live at your current address, then all the letters sent by USCIS will return back to NSC. So you will never receive your FP notice or approval notice. But as your wife is going to live there, you don't have that problem. Therefore, keep quiet with NSC as long as your wife lives at your current address.
 
Thank you very much, Pralay!!!

So the service center won't know your address change from AR-11? BTW, We've done the FP, will my lawyer receive a copy of the I485 approval notice ???

no, AR-11 address change does not get reflected to applications at service center.
yes, your lawyer gets the original approval notice and you will get the courtsey copy.
