It's my understanding that you do it to the texas center and they are the ones that send it to the correct after later. Look at this http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide it's literally step by step. If you need help understanding any of the steps you can ask here.

You follow the I-129F instructions and send it to the address given >http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f.

ALL petitions are mailed to the same address, the Dallas Lockbox. They are not mailed to any service center.

Currently all petitions are routed to the CSC, but this pinned thread still has good info in it > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/538432-process-for-the-mailing-and-receiving-of-i-129f-petitions/
