Does anybody know when are the 485 cases transferred to the local (district) INS offices? Is this caused by some triggering or usually every case gets transferred?

I wish to know the life cycle of 485 process and appreciate our GURUs explain it.
 
485 cases usually get transferred to local offices if you are using a waiver like 245, invoke AC21, change address, subjective categories like NIW, etc. I am saying, usually, but not always.

Also, I read on the last murthy chat (if I am not wrong), that some service centers are tranferring routine cases to local offices as they are so far behind in adjudications and local offices have some time on their hands.
