Thank you for your inquiry. The applications for green cards should be filed with the appropriate Service Center (where the employees will be working and residing when the application is approved). Please feel free to call me directly to discuss the same at 619.233.0900.

Sincerely,

Linda Decker

That would probably be considered fraud and you could end up losing any immigration benefits that you acquire at a future date.

Opening a non-functional office is fraudulent; your best bet is to apply using the CA office at the Service Center.

You need to file it in California. As you know there are several initiatives Government will be undertaking in the future to process Labor Certification lot faster. Long anticipated PERM regulation is not happening but something similar will be in place.
