All K-1 petitions are submitted to the Dallas lockbox. USCIS will route it to the appropriate service center.

You do not pick which center, you still mail it to the lockbox in Dallas (not sure about city), and then it gets forwarded to Vermont Service Center. You can get a rough estimate for the processing time by looking around timelines, I think recent ones show mid-end April, and that's for the NOA2, not for the visa (which is probably another 2.5-3 months on top of this).

So, if you do not get RFE, lucky, and VSC does not speeds up, and file like tomorrow you can hope for POA date in late July.

Again, just look around at timelines, they are accurate.

its more than likely a petition filed from NJ is going to end up at the VSC. The current average processing time right now is about 7 months and climbing for approval. after that, its hard to say how long it might take to get to interview but you should have interview within 3 months

what Operator said. [edit: wrong China man! Sorry!]

The filing location is listed on the I-129f instructions. Read those really well to make sure you don't miss anything.

if you look at the form 1-129f instructions it tells you where to address your file,
