Yes that is normal, the Chicago PO box as nothing to do where you live, it is where all I-485 petitions get sent, from there it is forwarded to the National Benefits Center. From there they either send it on to your local office for an interview, or to CSC for additional processing and possible approval with out interview.

What role does the NBC play?

To serve USCIS Field Offices, the NBC will complete all necessary pre-interview processing of I-485 Adjustment of Status cases, including conducting background security checks, initial evidence review, adjudication of associated I-765 and I-131 applications (filed with the I-485 or separately), denial of adjustment of status cases for applicants who are statutorily ineligible, and forwarding scheduled cases to the USCIS Field Office for adjudication.

A unique function of the NBC is that the Center utilizes a Lockbox facility, located in Chicago Illinois. The Lockbox is a bank under contract with the Department of Treasury that performs fee receipting, fee deposit and initial data entry for specified Forms according to business rules established by USCIS. The Lockbox then forwards all properly filed cases to the NBC for the pre-interview processing steps listed above.

Forms will be sent directly by the applicant to the Lockbox through a process termed “Direct Mail”. The determination of whether an applicant may file his or her I-485 directly with the Lockbox depends on the adjustment category under which he or she is applying. For specific filing information, including who may file using Direct Mail, please refer to the Direct Mail Federal Register Notice, published on November 19, 2004, and the current Form instructions.

It usually takes a couple of days before your case goes online. Check back in a day or two...
