Which service center?

So we're coming up on RC soon, and I'm a little confused about one thing: since filing our K1 via CSC, we've moved into an area covered by a different service center. Should we be filing through our original service center, or the center covering our current geographical area? Apologies in advance if it's covered in a FAQ, I've been reading up but didn't see this question answered.

“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous half-possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.” — Emerson

The current state you live in determines to which service center you file. It is not the original service center.

Good luck with your ROC! Keep us updated! :D

Thanks Markie and Inky, I feel a little foolish for asking the question now because it really does seem so obvious. But I figured better to ask the "stupid" question before, rather than sending my packet off to the wrong place later. Thanks again! :)
