PO Box as main address

[RainbowMonkey 24]

I'm trying to fix my AOS, EAD and AP documents and I'm having troubles of what address to put in all the forms. I know the difference between "physical" and "mailing" address but the neighborhood we're living in isn't exactly safe to get mail in our mailboxes.

Should i just put my PO box address to all the address information?

Opinions from anyone is welcome.

Thanks VJs!

You need to put your physical address as the physical address. They know you aren't living at a PO box lol. We have a PO Box too that we put as the mailing address, they mail to them not the physical.

Yeah, but in the form for example, Form I-131, they're only asking for the Physical address and not mailing address.

My point is, I need all the documents from the USCIS to my PO box.

I can't risk losing all the documents from the USCIS to be delivered in my mailbox in my physical address which I had stated in my original post, is a not-so-safe neighborhood.

On form I-131 there is a section (part 3 I believe) where you can put where you want the document mailed.

Thanks! So i have to either pick it up at a US Embassy or consulate or DHS office and not directly be delivered in my PO Box?

Also in the Form I-485, they're only asking for "address" not really specified if physical or mailing address which makes it more confusing.

Please help me, I really need all my mails to be delivered on my PO box.

Thanks!!!

If you take the time to slowly read the paperwork, you'll see where the different options are. As I stated in my original post, we use a PO Box as well, it's really a non-issue.

Since I have nothing better to do....

Form I-485, doesn't state "physical address" so mailing address should be fine. Explain this in your cover letter.

Form I-864, first page, "Mailing address" put your PO Box.

Form G-325, nothing gets mailed from this, use your physical address.

Form I-765, specifically states "Mailing address" for #3. Put your PO Box.

Form I-131, Part 1 says "Physical address" what we did was select "Mailed to address listed" in part 3... THEN once you get your receipt number put in a service request online to change your address, and it gives you the option to list physical AND mailing address. Fill in both and submit. **This isn't why ours got mixed up, it got mixed up because we moved a billion times, when they changed our address they accidentally put the old address again**

I always wondered about this. People don't realize that there are still rural places in the USA that don't have doorstep mail delivery or internet services. We only receive mail at the P.O. Box
