Moving GC processing from Dallas to Vermont

Hi,

My company (an american company) is based in Massachussetts MA. I was working for a State Govt client in Arkansas when I applied for my GC (Nov 2000). My project in Arkansas came to an end on June 2001 and I was moved to New Hampshire (July 2001 to Sept 2001) and then to Houston TX (from Oct 01 to date) where I am currently working. So I am back in the same region where my GC was applied.

It took 8 months for State (AR) Labor and was moved to Dallas for Federal labor on July 27, 2001. I am expecting my Fed labor to be completed in two month\'s time (June 02) as per the current processing times.

Owing to extremely slow processing time for I-140 and I-485 in Dallas SC, and since my current employer is based in MA, can I change/move my processing to Vermont region where the processing is faster?
Is this a legal proposition?
If so, what should be my best approach?
My H1 period is Sept 98 to August 04.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Biju
 
The I-140 should be appled for at the service center with jurisdiction over the work location

If your work location is in MA, you should have filed the LC with MA.
