Last week, USCIS announced a change in filing locations for two sets of
forms. The first set, Form I-600, the Petition to Classify Orphan as an
Immediate Relative, and Form I-600A, the Application for Advance
Processing of Orphan Petition, should now be sent to the following
addresses:
Regular Mail: USCIS, P.O. Box 299027, Lewisville, TX 75029
Express Mail/Courier Service: USCIS, ATTN: Adoption, 2501 S. State Hwy. 121 Business, Suite 400, Lewisville, TX 75067
This change of filing location was published on October 6; applicants
will have a 30-day transition period. After that period, USCIS will
return all of these forms that are incorrectly filed.
The second set of forms, Form I-800, the Petition to Classify
Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative, and Form I-800A, the
Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child from a
Convention Country, both related to the Hague Adoption Convention,
should now be filed to the following addresses:
Regular Mail: USCIS, P.O. Box 299008, Lewisville, TX 75029
Express Mail/Courier Service: USCIS, ATTN: Hague, 2501 S. State Hwy. 121 Business, Suite 400, Lewisville, TX 75067
This address change also went effective on October 6; applicants are
given a 30-day transition period to correctly file these petitions
before they will be returned as incorrectly filed.
