PD current - CANNOT file I485 ! - Help

[sutanud]

Hi Folks,

My PD is current but my lawyer is saying that I CANNOT file I-485.
Reason:

My labor cert / EB2 was originated in Illinois and then amended for Virginia by G-28.

Since my labor cert approval, i moved to Califonia - same job, same company. Note I am HOME based employee

Now my lawyer is saying that I need to go back to Virginia so i can apply for I-485.

Question:

1. Do i have to go back to the same state/location at I-485 filing stage where my Labor was originally approved?

2. Doesnot Green Card is for a future job?

3. Can i file I-485 while I am in California and my labor was approved for VA?

Please advise - thanks
