Mailing Address or Street Address needed on I-130?

[afvohra786 5]

Hello,

I'm sending in an I-130 for my spouse that is abroad at the moment. She lives in Saudi Arabia. Addresses and mailing addresses there are tricky since homes do not receive mail directly.

Her mailing address is a PO BOX in Saudi Arabia where as her home address is a regular street address.

My question is, on the I-130, under section C Number 2 and 19, should I put the mailing address or the street address? I am worried that USCIS will have an issue with the address that I am putting on her G-325a under the "residences in the last five years" will not match her address on the I-130 because obviously she does not live at the PO Box.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Use physical address. Unless it specifically asks for mailing address, which the I-130 doesn't

It doesn't matter which address you use, USCIS will not contact the beneficiary for any reason. Furthermore, when I completed the form I used a mailing address unless a form specifically asked for a physical address.

Appreciate your response. I read somewhere that the NVC sends the beneficiary a packet of documents to fill out i-864 etc...

After you submit your I-130, you can learn about the NVC process here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process
