There are two ways, it could happen.
A company can select a service center as a centralized processing for all their immigration matters. So that its employees
can reside and work anywhere in US, but all their immigration papers are processed at one service center. Companies need
to work with INS and make arrangement for this kind of process. INS issues an agreement to this effect, and the company
need to attach this agreement each time they apply for any immigration realted paper work.
But this kind of centralized processing has been discontiued by INS last year, but they still honor the agreements made before
dicontinuation. INS did this becuase of disparity with the workloads. Lot of people used to pick the fastest processing
service center and that makes it bomarded with heavy work load.
My GC processing fell into this kind of arrangement, and I had a chance to pick the service center to apply 485 (TSC or VSC), so I picked VSC. Ofcourse, our 140 is approved from VSC.
Thats all I know about it. But there may be something else to it that I am not aware of it.
There is another reason for people to work in one service center jurisdiction while the 485 is processed at another location:
A person who works as a consultant applies 485 at one service center, then later moves out of that service center\'s
jurisdiction to work on a different assignment. But the 485 processing will still be continued at the service center where he/she
first applied.
