NBC vs Local field office
i submitted my i-485 in december and since then i checked twice with the live agent and he told me my case is at NBC . Does NBC takes decision on cases or it will eventually go to a local field office ? secondly which one is faster ? NBC or local field offiice ? any thoughts ?

NBS is better because it’s very likely you won’t get an interview

keep checking, if it moves to a non local field office then it means you’re on final step

is it possible to chose either NBC or local field office.

@Grace What God cannot do does not exist no its not possible . usually initial screening is done at NBC and then they either forward it to the local field office or NBC takes the decision

they do initial screening and usually after that a case move to a local field office or non-local field office. In the second scenario - no interview.
