As we live in the USA, we are unable to go to Divya Desam-s such as Srirangam, Kanchi, etc. I am afraid that getting immersed in the divine Deity of Emperuman in our temple might provide an opportunity to worship Divya Desam Perumal. Is it correct to discriminate between the various Archa murthi-s of Emperuman? Will it beget sin?

The only reason that Emperuman is present as Archa murthi-s at various places is that not everyone can go to Divya Desam-s to worship him. Given this, we are fortunate to serve him at our place where he has descended to.
There is no need to feel anxious about not having the desire to worship a Divya Desam Perumal just because of our involvement with the Perumal at a local temple. He will induce the desire in us to worship him at a Divya Desam. It is his extreme mercy that he has made us very involved with him at the temple in our locality.
It is also a true nature of a Srivaishnava to be involved with all Archa murthi-s Emperuman.
