For your use, I made a color map showing which states belong to which service center.

Wow, that's awesome. Great work.

See My Threads Below for More Info on the I-129F Processing Delays at the CSC

It is advisable to follow the official USCIS instructions as to where to mail I-129F petitions:

Transfering from the Texas lock box to the CSC still only takes 8 days? i work for the government and can't believe they can be that expeditious! i take it that they sort based on the address on the front of the packet?

Lol.

According to the Map we should be in Vermont, but the Dallas Lock Box rerouted us to Texas, for some reason (my fiance lives in MA)... looking at processing times I wish we had ended up in VT though :-P

Is the OP still the case? Just wondering. I ask because my assumption will be that more than likely if all goes as the service center is suppose to go, then I should end up at Vermont after the lockbox filing in Dalllas, TX.

Vermont no longer handles K1 visas. Based on your location you'll be routed to Texas.
