What is Chicago Lockbox? Confused now...
I live in Nebraska. I saw many people have sent the whole package to chicago lockbox, just wonder what exactly is it?
I found the following address from USCIS website, it is the filling address of I-485 for family based filing:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120
Is that the "Chicago Lockbox" you guys are using? Should I file to this address as well?Thanks a lot.
you can file both the I-485 and I-130 at the same time in the same envelope to the chicago lockbox. As youll soon realize, the mailing instructions on the forms arent up to date. I just sent all my forms to the Chicago lockbox. Note, theres two different address and the one you choose will depend on whether youre shipping using USPS, or another service like Fed-Ex.
Good luck.
Chicago lockbox is a mail sorting/check cashing facility run by Bank One for the US Department of the Treasury on behalf of USCIS. What they do there is receive all family based AOS applications, take out the forms, sort them into a form that is more suitable for USCIS records, and forward them to the National Benefits Center. They also deal with the cashing of the large numbers of checks that come with the forms (hence why they are run by a bank).
