Where to file my I-129?

OK, so I have checked the instructions and it says that if you are living abroad then you should use your last address in the US. What if you are moving home and want to use your future address? The reason I ask is because it could be a difference between filing with Nebraska or Vermont.

I lived in Ohio before I moved to Japan, so that would be Nebraska, which is really CSC. I'm moving home but don't have an address yet, so I can really pick any, right? I can stay with my parents in Cleveland (filing with NSC) while job and apartment hunting or I can stay with a friend in Boston (filing with VSC) while job and apartment hunting. These seems perfectly reasonable and legal to me. Is there anything wrong with this? Even if I'm not actually staying at the address in Boston? I honestly don't know where I'll live when I come home, probably wherever I can find a decent job.

Sorry to reply to my own post and bump it, but this is the last question I have before filing my packet next week. If anyone has any thoughts on this, i would really appreciate it.

Well..not 100% sure on the important part of your question but do know you're down to only two choices as to where to file...Vermont or California as Nebraska and Texas are no longer doing I129Fs as of recently.

I think we'd all like to use our 'future' address in order to get Vermont...

If it were me, and it were possible, Id use my parents address. I'd actually want to be able to receive mail. But that's a pretty good question - am surprised you haven't gotten a bunch of responses.

Yes vermont is faster, but I would go with where ever you are most able to receive mail. You can change your address in the process, but its possible that you could run into delays. I suppose if you plan on staying in Boston, even after living with your friend awhile, you could get a PO box there to for USCIS mail.
