K1 petition-where does it go after lockbox

[JohnandWendyB 21]

Does anyone know-as I read conflicting things... After you send your K1 petition to the lock box does it go to a specific service center based on which service center services your geographic location? Or does the lock box send it to which ever service center is requesting more work first?

Yes, K1 petition gets sent to a specific service center based on which service center services your geographic location

Thanks, Chuward. I have just found another place where it talks about the lockbox acting as the gatekeeper for apps but this article was written 8/2010. I know I saw somewhere on USCIS website the same info and will keep ttrying to find it with a date-might be outdated at this point. Either way I am Missouri so I hope you are right! Where did you find your info?
