Interesting scenario

My employer is based in VA. I am in Atlanta, GA. My 140 has been approved recently at VSC. My attorney has sent me a package saying that my 485 should be applied at TSC and Atlanta Local INS office. I want to apply at VSC as it is faster compared to TSC.

Also the attorney says that a copy of the driver\'s license is needed to establish the state residency. I am very much confused. I presume that the case gets transferred to the local INS office only when the applicant is called for the interview. What shall I do to apply at VSC since the employer is also based at VSC? Any inputs will be very helpful. Thanks.
 
Depends

You can file either at the INS office under the HQ jurisdiction or your local city\'s jurisdiction. In most cases it\'s the later - which might explain TSC. You should talk to your lawyer or your firm\'s HR folks to determine which place to file in.

Also, just because VSC went through applications rather quickly for 2000, it doesn\'t mean they\'ll maintain that pace. In fact quite the reverse - they may slow down as they went really fast - and TSC might speed up...
 
No Title

My company is based in PA, but I am in CA for the last 2 years. My company lawyers filed it in VSC. During labor I was in TX Jurisdiction. I moved to CA during 140.
 
Thanks for your reply. Came across this on the INS web-site

If you visit http://www.ins.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-485.htm, you will find the following info:

Where to File:
The Service Center that has jurisdiction over your intended place of employment.

So in this case, will it make sense to apply at VSC as the employer is based there and that place might be the future place of employment. Thanks again for your comments.
