you need to give more specific details when you post your question.
I am going to answer this based on 2 assumptions.
1. Your spouse is in the US.
or
2. your spouse is overseas.
1. You can file the I130 , I485 , I864 , I693(medical) , G325A , I765(EAD) and other supporting documents to the local district office.
2. If your spouse is overseas you need to file the I130 at a service center and wait till that I130 is approved for futher action. Do note I130 application adjudications vary from 6 months to 2 years.

Should I file I-130 and I-864 to one of the four INS service centers or just to the local INS district office?
Thanks a lot

If the spouse is overseas then check whether you can apply for I-130 in your country. I Know in New Delhi India and London UK they accept it. Within six months person can enter US with green card. This is only for parents and spouse of the US citizens.

Thanks for the information. I will file I-485 for my parents after they come to the US as B-2 visitors. My parents will stay with me, so I'll file their I-485 to the local district office here in Missouri. However I'm not the one to file I-130 for them (I'm not a citizen yet). My brother will do it and he lives in California. In that case, should he file I-130 to the district office in California and them send me the approval notice or just mail his I-130 and I-864 to me and I put them together with I-485 and other form to the local office here in Missouri?
Thanks a lot
