USCIS Changes Filing Locations for Form I-130, the Petition for Alien Relative

Share this:

USCIS has changed the filing location for Form I-130, the Petition for
Alien Relative. As of January 1, 2012, domestic petitioners should mail
their stand-alone I-30 applications to either the Chicago or Phoenix
Lockbox, depending on where they reside. This change will enable USCIS
to balance workloads between the two lockbox locations and more
effectively process I-130 forms.

USCIS notes that there will be no change in filing locations for
petitioners submitting Form I-130 along with Form I-485, the Application
to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Petitioners
submitting these two forms together should continue to mail them to the
Chicago Lockbox. Petitioners residing in a country with a USCIS office
may either mail their I-130 forms to the Chicago Lockbox facility or may
file their forms at the USCIS office with jurisdiction over the area
where they live.
