Filing I-130 online
I plan to file it electronically and was told that the case may be randomly picked up by any one of the service centers. Is this your experiences as well? Does the home address I use in the application play any role in this at all? If at all, I would like my case sent to a faster service center. Thanks for your time.

@Happy Wife How do you know what center is your application in?
micha ellaMar 26, 2022
Thank you. But after the case is ready to be scheduled for the interview it's transferred to your local office right?

how do you check your service center through emma? what did you type?
Joe ChenMar 27, 2022
I guess I'm more keen to know which center to take my case before filing and if any which factors will play a role in it. Any one knows?
Joe ChenMar 27, 2022
Thank you for your comments and I really appreciate it. Point taken so I will file it asap.

but the processing time is different for each service centers
Joe ChenMar 28, 2022
processing time matters in the way that you gets to ask uscis for follow-ups when your pd is older than that time and uscis usually expedites the case after that. so the centers which more recent processing times have better chances in this regard.

fastest processing time is for nebraska,
pratik parekhMar 28, 2022
it also depends on how you are filing and who you are filing for and what service center

do you know how do I file to get to be processed by Nebraska center?
pratik parekhMar 28, 2022
Each service center has been specifically designated to handle specific types of immigration benefits. The type of center that will process your case depends on a number of different factors including: the type of immigration benefit you are requesting, your immigration category, and also your state of residency
pratik parekhMar 28, 2022
which state are you in?
Joe ChenMar 28, 2022
I can file either from California or Texas, which one should I use
pratik parekhMar 28, 2022
You live in two states?
Joe ChenMar 28, 2022
I mean I could if I want to
pratik parekhMar 28, 2022
than go with texas, its faster
Joe ChenMar 28, 2022
so if I understand correctly, if I use Texas address in my application the case will be sent to tsc most likely?
pratik parekhMar 28, 2022
yes, texas is for texas service center. it 100% goes there if they are doing the type of case you are filing
Joe ChenMar 28, 2022
ok but I heard from an immigration lawyer that some cases of California residents were sent to other centers than csc after they were filed online
