Which one of you is the U.S.citizen? And how much time is left on the other's visa? Prior to visa expiration, the application needs to get filed.

It doesn't matter where and in what State you live. It can be filed from any State, as immigration law is federal law. Your attorney can be located in any State as well.

However, mail from the USCIS can get lost if you move and didn't update your address.

Your fact pattern does not indicate whether or not either of you is a U.S. citizen or how the foreign national entered the U.S. (lawfully or without inspection). Further, even if the FN entered with a visa, the FN could be ineligible to adjust status based on the type of visa used to enter. Finally, there is no indication as to whether or not there are any issues regarding your admissibility.

To properly assess your case, much more information is needed. The FN may not even be eligible to adjust. Retain counsel to make this determination. Your attorney can prepare and file the paperwork for you and, if you move or stay, can attend the interview with you.
