For I-485 if I live in Dallas do I have to submit form to Dallas office? I'm worried they are really slow. My Dad is very sick and may die, so hoping to be able to go to his funeral.

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out for guidance following a recent change in my employment and visa status. Last Friday, after my employer unexpectedly terminated my role, my fiancé (a U.S. citizen) and I accelerated our plans and decided to marry, aiming to begin the process of adjusting my status to obtain a Green Card. My TN visa, initially valid until December 2025, was tied to my employment, prompting this swift change in our personal and legal circumstances. Given these developments, I'm seeking clarity on whether I need to leave the U.S. within the 60-day grace period that typically follows employment termination (before May 29, 2024), or if I can remain in the country to complete the necessary paperwork for my Green Card application. While securing new employment under a TN visa remains a concern, I'm in a fortunate position financially and can afford some time without immediate employment. My priority is to navigate this transition correctly and expediently to ensure my status adjustment proceeds smoothly. Thank you in advance for your advice and assistance.
