How to get processing time estimate for I-130 for parents

[calberry 18]

I'm a USC living in California and I'm thinking of filing a I-130 for my parents for the IR-5 (probably through consular processing)

 

When I go to https://www.uscis.gov/i-130-addresses it says I should mail the application to the "USCIS Phoenix Lockbox". When I then go to https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times and select I-130 there's no option to select Phoenix Lockbox so I selected "California Service Center" since that's where I live but there's no estimated time range for US citizens filing for parents (but it does for the other service centers, i.e. Vermont, Texas, Potomac, Nebraska). Can someone help?

Phoenix lock box is just a mail processing center for USCIS. You send the petition and supporting documents there and they send it to the service center. 

 

Expect the whole process to take about 12-14 months.

that makes sense now. is there anyway to figure out (or request) which service center it gets routed to since they have different processing times? my parents obviously don't live here so I wonder how they decide which service center to send it to...

No there's no requesting what service center it goes to.  They balance the workload and send them where they need to.
