No, family based Adjustment of Status applications MUST be filed to the Chicago 'lock box' address per uscis.gov (see special instructions on the I-485 page).

You will be allowed to have your biometrics taken in Portland, but you will have to attend your AOS interview in the Seattle office.

There are NO District Office filings anymore.

lol, how slow do you drive? Vancouver to Seattle is only 3 hours, and the office is actually south of Seattle now so you miss most of the traffic.

Anyway, needs must. You live in Washington State, so you have to deal with the Washington office. Feel lucky that they'll let you do your biometrics in Portland.

If you move to Portland, you will be moving District Offices and will have to TRY to move your case from Seattle to Portland. It can be very difficult to do this, so please study up on it ahead of time, or wait to file your AOS until you are at your Oregon address.

Are you serious about no longer having interviews at the district offices? I live in Alabama so I would have to go to Atlanta, Georgia I thought but I guess I'll be going to Texas now!!! But is this true??????????????

There ARE interviews at the local office; there are no FILINGS at the local office anymore.
