Montreal - as powerpuff said.  If you put any other consulate you will be directed to Montreal.  We put Toronto and they routed us to Montreal

 

Good luck

Okay thanks! 

 

Also, does anyone know why my timeline is showing Texas Service Center?  I have tried to remove that twice but it seems to keep defaulting to that.  Does the application actually go to Texas first?

You just edit your timeline to the correct service center that is processing your petition.  

 

BTW you are not applying via DCF so you might want to change that while you are at it.

How do we see what is the correct service center?

 

How do you figure we are not applying via DCF?  Both of us are outside the US.  (Profile instructions say: "US State you are (or will be) living in")

DCF is for extremely urgent and v v limited circumstances and  must be accepted by the consulate before you file  the I130. Submit the I130 to USCIS and any possible eligibility for DCF is gone 

 

DCF is not “the normal process for people living outside the US”

DCF means you are filling directly with the Consulate not via a USCIS service center
