i-130 Filing Service Center Question

[c0de]

Good Morning folks,
I'm a permanent resident, intending to get married, and thus want to file the i-130 for a spoouse. i was checking the USCIS website for processing times and I got a bit confused.
How can someone pick which service center to use? The California Service center needs 33 months to process while the Texas one needs only 5.. that's a HUGE difference.. how can I work around that?

And by processing times that means how long it needs start to finish? trying to get a feel for how LONG it takes for the whole process.

Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm in WAY over my head and dunno what/where to look.

Thanks

Depends on which state you reside.
Follow this link : http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=dd346d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD
Anyway for a visa number to be available it takes a long time if you are a permanant resident.
