Who are you filing an I-130 for? You have posted in the spousal visa section. The interview for a spousal visa takes place at the beneficiary’s local embassy, wherever they happen to be in the world. 
 

The filing address varies depending on the person you are filing for (the category of immigrant visa).

So you are adjusting status, not applying for a visa. I’ll move your post to the correct section so that you can get the right answers. 
 

*~*~*moved from “IR-1/CR-1 spouse visa progress reports” to “adjustment of status from work/study/tourist visas”*~*~*

Since you are in the US you'll also need to file other forms with the I-130. In general, send the following four packets (*note that I-765 and I-131 packets are optional) in the same envelope to the Chicago Lockbox:

• I-130 with I-130A and copy of marriage certificate, filing fees, etc.;

• I-485 with I-864 and supporting documents, I-944 and supporting documents, electronic I-94 copy, filing fees, etc.;

• I-765 with electronic I-94 copy, filing fees (if I-485 is filed on or after 10/02/20), etc.; and

• I-131 with electronic I-94 copy, filing fees (if I-485 is filed on or after 10/02/20), etc.

You'll separate each packet with rubber bands or fasteners: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-information/form-filing-tips

On the I-130 packet, I-130 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

On the I-485 packet, I-485 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

 

Below fees apply if I-485 is filed on or after 10/02/20:

On the I-765 packet, I-765 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

On the I-131 packet, I-131 payment method (check, money order, or Form G-1450) must be the very first item of this packet.

I can’t apply all in once because I have removal proceedings in front of judge so I can only do step by step. I just renewed my I-765 so I’m good to go for the next 2 years. I-131in the other hand if I remember correctly only last for 1 year and I don’t think I will travel anytime soon thanks to covid, so I don’t plan to apply for I-131

I cannot give you a definite answer right now, but what I am certain of is that the location will be indicated once they send you a letter re: your interview. Best of luck!
