    They are all very slow, and you cannot choose where your case goes.

    Adjustment of the status case will be adjudicated either at the service center or district office (field office) having jurisdiction over the applicant''s U.S. residence address.

    You have to file where they tell you. It depends on where you live. But sometimes they direct the files to a different center that has a lighter workload.

    The field office is based on your current residence.

    No, you cannot choose which office to file your EAD/AP and I-485. The rule is that you must submit your I-485, Application to Adjust Status, to the relevant office that is authorized to accept approved I-526 petitions, which is currently the USCIS Dallas Lockbox. You simultaneously file your EAD/AP with the Dallas Lockbox if you need one.
