    I-824 is not needed in this case. this is an old thread, commenting to prevent the I824 discussion here from misleading people. As long as the I-485 is filled correctly and I-130 approval notice is attached with the application. USCIS will request the I130 file be transferred back as part of the process. generally the I-485 interview waiting period is so long these days that USCIS will have the file back, so the time impact will be negligible. plenty of people have adjusted based on approved I-130 for immediate relatives on VJ without the I-824 as its not needed. just linking an example below

    interview location is unrelated to the service center on the receipt. your file will eventually be transferred to the local uscis field office for the I-485 interview. field office depends on your physical address that you put on the application. you can find your field office by entering your zip code on this page

    wait time for the I-485 interview will depend on the backlog at the local field office, so check the uscis processing time for I-485 for your local field office. Also, i recommend having the employer extend the H1B if possible ,until you have the gc in hand. the moment you use AP or EAD your H1 status will end and you will have no status to fall back on in case GC gets denied. there is still a risk just in case marriage falls apart or other eligibility issues are discovered so general recommendation is to stay in status if possible till the AOS process is complete.
