Filing I-140/I-485 in different state?

[rasi_s]

I am seeing posts saying that the LC was approved in one state and they are filing I-140/I-485 from another state! What does this mean?

Does that mean, if my LC is approved in say, Chicago, can I file I-140/I-485 in California or vice versa?

Can some one please explain?

Thanks,
Rasi

I-485 is generally filed from the zone where you are currently working. I-140 is filed from the place where your company has its main office. I am not sure how filing labor from different state affects this
