Need help finding address for filling I-212 w/no waiver

On the I-212 form instructions, under where to file: it says

Please see the Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-212 to determine with which agency and where you must file Form I-212. If you file your application with the incorrect agency, your application may be rejected or the adjudication may be delayed.

 

Selecting the above, takes you to the next webpage.  Go down to the correct entry.

 

Applicant for immigrant visa and waiver on Form I-601 not required

USCIS Field Office with jurisdiction over the place where your deportation or removal proceedings were held

If you are inadmissible because you had previously accrued unlawful presence in the aggregate of 1 year or more in the United States, and you departed the United States and entered or attempted to reenter the United States without being admitted (INA section 212(a)(9)(C)(i)(I)), you may not have been in removal proceedings. In this case, you should file the application with the USCIS Field Office having jurisdiction over your intended place of residence in the United States.
 

8 CFR 212.2(d) USCIS Field Office with jurisdiction over the place where the deportation or removal proceedings were held

 

However, when I go to the Miami field office webpage, it says...

Office Address: 8801 NW 7th Avenue, Miami, FL 33150
Do not send completed forms or documentation to this address. You must send your documentation to the address listed on your form. See Filing Information below.

 

Under that section, it says...

Follow the instructions on the form(s) that you are filing.

 

Which takes you right back to the beginning...

 

I just need to know where to send the form

I called USCIS Helpline 800-3755283.  After a conversation, with Jasmine, who sounded just as confused, and unsure.  Says I should make an appointment with any field office, and submit my paperwork at any local field office, and that you can't "mail" it in.  Dos this make sense to anyone.

1.  That you have to hand deliver it.

2.  That you can turn it in to "ANY" field office (Instructions say: USCIS Field Office with jurisdiction over the place where your deportation or removal proceedings were held).(of coarse, they are all closed now due to virus.)

 

This should not be this complicated.
