I think it will be newark,NJ.
Thanks for your reply.
In NJ, probably it will be Newark. They are fast and efficient comparatively (2-5 months). This is what I could know from other postings on this forum - I don't have personal experience though.
Sometimes, they transfer without any reason ("Quality control"). Sometimes, past immigration status is not clear or current employment verification is required or medical report is fuzzy (say, positive for TB or HIV, then they transfer to local centers for proofs of treatment). Usually, they write in interview call (if any) what documents will be required during the interview. Sometimes (rarely though), local centers don't need personal interview, and send approval straightaway.
If you never changed employer, I guess you should not worry (except for additional delay of couple of months).
Best wishes,
Jigesh

I think it would be the Cherry Hill, NJ sub-office since the Newark office covers only as far as Middlesex county. Check out:

I think this is the reason, because your company is a startup, INS wants to make sure your company still exists and you are still employeed. In this kind of economy, a small company like yours can vanish any time. If you're still employeed, shouldn't worry then.
Good luck!
