Where is our case...at the Texas Service Center or at the Field office ?

Hello,
my wife has been living in the USA with an H1B since 2015. The application for an EB3 green card (E31, skilled worker) has been filed. Perm, I765, I131 and I140 were approved. These petitions were filed at the Texas Service Center. So currently the only one open is I485, which was filed in early October 2020 according to the case tracker. The latest status change is from February 2021 and says "Case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction." What does this mean ? Is the case now in the regional field office in Philadelphia (my wife lives there) ? When I look at the current processing times on the USCIS website for the I485, do I need to look at the times for the Texas Service Center or for the Philadelphia field office ? The case number starts with MSC (Texas Service Center).
