When you file i-129f you need to send it to texas first right? Who decides if it goes to california or to vermont?

You send it to the Dallas Lockbox. That's a sorting facility and they are the ones who decide if it goes to Vermont or California.

The service center your case will be forwarded to is based on what state you live in. The west and the midwest go to California, the east and the south east go to Vermont.

The service center is based on the state that you reside in. Here’s a link that will tell you based on your state:

That link tells me the "Texas Service Center".

Which is why it's best to go by the I-129F instructions.

The USCIS site still lists processing times for I-129Fs for the TSC, which seems to throw a lot of folks off. Bottom line: The Texas Service Center is not the same as the Dallas Lockbox.

Not at all, I don't know why it would say Texas, oh well. I live in the south east so my petitions always went to Vermont. ROC still lists the states for the service centers.

And the Texas Service Center (TSC) does NOT process I-129F petitions, they have other responsibilities.
