VSC or NSC -- labor aprroved from IOWA

I had one question about my case which I wanted second opinion about. We have approved labor for a Job in IOWA and I live and work in PA and company HQ are in PA.

Where should the 140 and 485 be filed. Is it possible in any way to file in VSC? If our attorneys have done that is that a mistake? Kindly advise

1. It is not possible to file in VSC.
2. Yes it is indeed error.
 
where is the company based ?

Generally wherever the company is based, the filing should happen in that service center.


If u hav filed in VSC, you may be lucky if VSC takes up the case and processes it or ur case may be transferred to NSC which will add some time to processing.

Your I-140 should be filled where your comapny is located and if you are filling concurrent then your I-485 will also be filled at the service center where I-140 is filled. If your company has HQ in PA the I guess it will go to VSC.
 
Whats next ???

The company is HQed in PA and we have a branch in IOWA so we filed for labor there.. The labor got cleared preety quickly...

Now with 140 and 485 my lawyer was of the opinion that we are going to file at NSC and now all of sudden I realize that she filed at VSC... I have a meeting with her tomm and will find out why and what she believes..

Do you guys know what happens in this kind of cases.. Am I screwed ?? The company I am working with currently has not much left in bank (it may last till the end of year) I was hoping that if we get 140 approved I could use AC21 and switch jobs but it seems difficult now...

Kindly post your opinions and advices.
 
Here is what lawyer says!!!

-- UPDATE --
Spoke to the lawyer she admitted that the commited the mistake.

She tried to convince me that it may be a blessing in disguise if VERMONT agrees and processes the case (since they are easy, less RFEs etc). But the legal way to file it is in NEBRASKA.

She also said that VSC cannot deny 140/485 on the basis of wrong processing center, only thing that they can do is transfer it to NSC but the dates will remain same and our case will not be at the end of Queue (She was not sure about this and is going to find out more)

Second option she gave is to write a letter to VSC and have it transferred to NSC... and here to she said the dates are going to remain same. (but she is not sure) Also she was not sure how much time it takes to get the case there and if there is any kind of tracking available..

Overall she was not sure what she is going to do and how she is going to do it.

Guys please advise if you have seen/heard about something like this.
