I-485 Adjustment of Status
Adjustment of Status is the most common way of actually filing the paperwork for a Green Card.

Do I need to file the I-485 at the service center or at the local office? Do I have a choice?

This is a common source of confusion. No, you do not have a choice. Employment based I-485s must always be filed at the Nebraska or Texas Service Center (depending on where they live). Family-based I-485s are filed at the Missouri Service Center (via a Chicago mailing address). And if your I-485 is asylum based, you must always file at the Nebraska Service Center, no matter where you live. For detailed up-to-date instructions, please view the USCIS Web Site.

For cases filed with service centers, yes. For cases filed at the local/district office (very rare nowadays), it depends on the policy at the particular office.
