I-130 through VSC or through NBC if beneficiary is abroad

I-130 processed by VSC or by NBC if beneficiary is abroad?

Hi everyone,

I am French citizen. My wife is USC and lives in PA.

I am trying to decide between filing for Adjustment Of Status, filing for immigrant visa through Consular Processing, or filing for K-3 and immigrant visa through Consular Processing. Please assume that these three options are available to me.

I would like to know which USCIS Service Center will process my wife's I-130 if we decide to go for the Consular Processing option. Is it MSC/NBC (because it is a marriage-based visa) or is it VSC (because my wife lives in PA)?

I am asking this question because I read on another forum that VSC processes I-130 very fast. In contrast, the backlog at NBC seems important.

Many thanks
