SORRY,

I have searched and the problem is I have found several addresses, both old and new in information about where to send this info if you live in certain states.

I have all the documentation completed and ready to send but the forum guide for AOS does not have the current amount to be sent nor does it have an address for where the packet is to be sent.

I guess a few years ago they tried a new program in Texas, Oklahoma etc. etc. and that didn't seem to work out so now everyone just sends their stuff to the "Chicago Lockbox"? I have found three addresses for the Chicago Lockbox on this website.

Also in the guide it states to send a personal check if allowed.... Unclear information drives me nuts!!!

Can someone tell me how much I need to send, what form of payment needs to be used and to what address it needs to be sent?

Thanks,

Maybe a sticky with current info would help.

Goes to the Chicago PO Box, as well as the included I-765, and perhaps I-131.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

FEE $1010 for I-485+I-765+I-131 Personal check is fine.

Note The fee is $1010 no mater what, so include an I-765 for a work permit, and I-131 for AP just in case you wish to be able to trave home while waiting for AOS. Code I-765 (C )(9 ) based on pending I-485.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

Best place to start is on the instructions page of the I-485. (Even though the Guides are pretty clear also.)

People adjust status from many different reasons/visas and there are different places to send the package based on this - you have to be able to clearly read the instructions and apply them to your situation.

Most folks will send a personal check for $1010 (along with your packages for AOS/EAD and - if desired - AP) to the Chicago Lockbox.

Well my wife came over on a K-1 visa and we married this summer. Around June I guess they changed the I-693 medical form and now even if your spouse has already had chicken pox they will have to receive the chicken pox vaccination. :angry: Last spring they started requiring females up to the age of26 to have the HPPV vaccination. Also my wife received her medical exam at Bumrungrad in March 08 and at that time received a chest x-ray to prove she did not have a history of TB. When we went into get her I-693 completed they required a skin TB test. I asked they why they wouldn't just view the x-ray from Bumrungrad. They said that they needed her to take the test and if she tested positive she would need to take another x-ray. Sure enough most Asians will receive a false positive on this inane little skin test so another chest x-ray was ordered and guess what? Yep she has never had TB.....WOW!!! What a shocker!!! Thank God our government has the good sense not to try to build their own aircraft!

I submitted the DS-3025 "Vaccination Documentation Worksheet" and if I remember correctly under HPV they checked "Not Routinely Available" so I guess I'll just wait and see what they have to say. I'm not real keen on her being a guinea pig for Big Pharm just because they have a strong lobby.

At least by the time all this gets processed she'll be over 26.
