My I140 is filed in California. Only after it is approved will my I485 be filed.
---- You can file I-485 immediately after you get I-140 filing receipt from California
My question is where will my application for I485 go .
If you want to file I-485 now file with I-140 filing receipt with CA if you want to file after I-140 approval then you can file with VSC. I will file now with CA so that I get early PD for I-485 if you want to use AC21 in future

I live in Massachussets and my company is located in CA. Will it go to CSC or VSC ???? Or do I have a choice.

*** I will file I-485, EAD, AP with CA with I-140 filing reciept

re:

I was also under the same impression. But when i look at the forms section for I485 it says

Where to File I485 :
The Service Center that has jurisdiction over your intended place of employment.

So i dont know how i can file it in VSC later.

You would remember me .I asked earlier whether I can file without EVL .... Actually my employer said that they would revoke my I140 if they found out that someone had applied the I485 .anyways thats a different story.

Please let me know that later I would be able to apply for I485 at VSC

I-140/485 Concurrent Filing Rule Clarification

A) If I-140 is already approved, people will be allowed to file with either the Service Center that has jurisdiction over I-140 or the Service Center that has jurisdiction over I-485.

B) If I-140 and I-485 are filed together concurrently, it should be filed with the Service Center that has jurisdiction over I-140 and not the Service Center that has jurisdiction over I-485.

C) If I-140 has already been filed and one files I-485 afterwards but while the I-140 is still pending, such I-485 must be filed with the Service Center where I-140 is pending.

D) I-140 jurisdiction is determined by one of the following factors: (1) Job site as shown on labor certification application, or (2) Main business office location of the employer if the labor certification was filed for undetermined location, or (3) If employer has a sole jurisdiction arrangement with any Service Center, that Service Center has jurisdiction over I-140, however, the Service Center that has jurisdiction over the job site on the labor certification may also be able to exercise jurisdiction over the I-140, or (4) If a self-petition, where the alien resides.

E) I-485 jurisdiction is determined by the alien's place of residence.

F) In any event, the best policy is to file I-485 with the Service Center which has jurisdiction over the I-140, no matter whether I-140 has already been approved or still pending.
