I can see we have been assigned to Nebraska. There is a link "Receipt notice" on my USCIS account and it links to a document where I can see Nebraska Service Center at the bottom left of the page. I guess this is the NOA1.

We got Nebraska as well. It looks like they are taking most cases into Nebraska and then transferring them over to different service centers.

That’s just where majority of filers go in general; it’s the most backlogged for a reason

Something others say on this site about the service centers being kind of like this: grab a die, write Nebraska on 5 sides, Texas on 1, and if you accidentally drop the die, then you maybe get Potomac
