Job Changing when NIW pending

Hi, all

I am new here and would like to have any opinions.
This is the case: I just submitted NIW to NSC a few month ago, and I got an offer in Maryland. Since that will be in a different immigration center, what will happen to my current NIW? should I take the offer or not? I think applying GC through LC might be a back up if I took that offer because people keep saying NIW is very tough at NSC.

Any suggestions are really appreciate!

Is your new work in the exact same field you filed your NIW for ?
 
Yes, but I am wondering how the officer judge that. The only difference is that is a company, the one I am working at is a university. My case will be transfered to VSC if I take the offer? Thanks a lot, Honkman.

As long as you can clearly show that you work in the same research field in your new company as you did in academia I think you shoudln't have any problems. But of course I am not a lawyer, so you might ask one what he thinks about. About your transfer of your case to VSC I am not sure, perhaps somebody else knows more.
 
Well,
I hope my case experience gives you some info regarding your move.
I changed my job and moved (TSC to CSC) while my I-140 NIW/I-485 was pending. I once asked my lawyer if my move will cause transfer. He said "No" since my I-485 was pending at TSC, TSC would process my case.
The case stayed with the initial service center (TSC) without transfer. I got RFE asking for employment. I replied with employment letter and job descriptions from both places saying that my jobs are essentially the same. I also submitted a letter from human resource specialist at my new place to support my claim. Both I-140/I-485 were approved one month after my RFE was acknowledged. I got stamping in Seattle and received plastic card one month later. The card was issued from TSC.
 
Thanks a lot, that's a good example to know.
But I just submit I-140 only at that time, should I do 485 also before moving?
any comments are appreciate.
