Maybe a mistake
Aj1971,
It may be a mistake or they might have just left it out. Anything is possible with these agencies.

I am in the impression that new I-485 cases will be filed at NSC. Are you sure that existing cases have been transferred from VSC to NSC? Here is some info. from www.immigration-law.com

08/06/2006: Reminder of Centralization of EB-485 Filing Procedure Effective 07/24/2006
It appears that people are still confused about the filing jurisdiction for EB-485 applications. They include two groups. Group I is those whose I-140 petitions are still pending at CSC or VSC or TSC. Group II is those who have just received I-140 approval notices from CSC or VSC or TSC. Effective July 24, 2006, regardless of where their pending or approved I-140 petitions are located, they should file the stand-alone I-485 applications with NSC.
Accordingly, you filed your stand alone I-140 petition at CSC or TSC or VSC and while the I-140 petition still pending, your visa number becomes available and you want to file I-485 application for yourself and your family members, you should file the I-485 applications not with the Service Center where your I-140 petition is pending but with Nebraska Service Center. Please make it sure that you attach a copy of the pending I-140 Receipt Notice.
Additionally, if your I-140 petition has been pending at CSC or TSC or VSC and receive the I-140 approval notices from these Service Centers and you want to file I-485 applications as your visa numbers are available, you file the stand alone I-485 applications for yourself and your family members not with TSC nor CSC nor VSC, but with NSC attaching the approved -140 approval notice. Just remember that all the employment-based I-485 applications should be filed with NSC regardless of where your files are located.
Filing of stand alone EAD or Advance Parole new applications or renewal applications while I-485 applications are still pending is not affected by the centralization of I-485 applications. These stand alone EAD or Advance Parole applications should still follow the jurisdictions of the pending I-485 applications. For instance, if your I-485 application has been pending at CSC, you still have to file EAD or Advance Parole applications with the CSC and not with the NSC. EAD or Advance Parole applications should always be filed with the Service Center where their I-485 applications are pending.
