I am on H4 visa, got my I-140 approved (with current priority date). My spouse is primary H1b and wishes to change the job (in May-June) but need to resign from present post at least 3 mo in advance. Once my spouse changes job a new H1b (transfer) will come into effect. Is it wise to apply for I-485 now or wait for some time ? Any advice?

If you change job, then the GC process need to restart from PERM. The previous employer may not file I-485 when you are no longer working for them. Once you file I-485 and receive an EAD you are allowed to chage jobs, but only after 6 months from receiving the EAD to avoid unnecessary questing while I-485 gets processed.Not a legal advice.

In that case, there is no reason to hold back on filing I-485. The sooner you file it, it is better.
