This is not entirely accurate always. In some cases, the local office may be different from the biometrics office, which may only be a satellite office. In my case for example, I live in Knoxville, TN and my biometrics were done at Nashville. However, my local office is in Memphis which is where my interview was. Some states have multiple local offices (New York, for example). The best way to find out what your local office is to go to the following website, plug in your zip code and it will tell you.

With that being said, Chicago only has one local office, so more than likely it will be Chicago indeed.

Yeah. Tennessee unfortunately only has one local office which makes no sense since it is such a big (well long) state. Atlanta would have been half the distance for me!

Same for Sacramento. I thought that was fairly common. A small office for biometrics (the field office), and then the USCIS offices in a big building downtown (looking more like a place where paperwork is handled and business done).
