How to know, what is my Jurisdiction?

Registered Users (C)
My employer applied for my labor from West Virginia while I am working in that state. Now I have to apply for I-140. How do I know in which INS center they will file my I-140?

I am curious to know how long it will take approve I-140 in my relevant INS office.

Please guide me.

Thanks
