L2 dependent visa help

[learner]

Hi
My company is filing L1B visa for me . As all blanket L1 visa interviews can only be scheduled at chennai location ,I need to go to chennai. I am also planning to file L2 dependent visa for my wife. I have below query -
Can I apply for L2 visa for my wife at mumbai location once I get L1 visa? Because of below reason I am planning to file L2 visa for my spouse from mumbai location/consulate.

a. My wife is on notice period so she cannot take leave to travel to chennai for visa interview.
b. As company is filing L1B visa, they are giving me the cost to travel to chennai, but not for my spouse , so I need to bear the travel cost(from mumbai to chennai and back) for my spouse.

Because of above reasons I am planning to apply for L2 visa for my spouse from mumbai location once I get L1B visa . Please suggest me whether I should apply from mumbai or chennai for my spouse ?Your suggestion will help in taking correct and informed decision.
