I have decided to abandon my K1 and fly to Jordan to marry my fiance at the end of the month. Marriage was our plan any way. It doesn't matter where. We don't want a big wedding and will marry ASAP (within 2-3 days of my arrival). I plan to stay 6-8 weeks, but I don't want to lose all that time in the processing of the I130.

However the mail system from Jordan has been very unreliable and some things he has sent to me have been lost... making me afraid of mailing the papers from there.

Is it possible to DHL or FedEx the I130 since it goes to a PO box?

Thanks again for all the help!

I don't see any reason why you couldn't use DHL or fedEX for a PO Box. I think my lawyer sends everything via UPS.

Best of luck

Best of Luck. Best wishes. Thank you.

No, they do not deliver to P.O. Boxes. there is a actual physical address to send the I-130 to Chicago USCIS Its on the instruction sheet of the I-130 for overnight deliveries

Any U.S. resident petitioner submitting a completed I-130 by courier/express delivery, should use the following address:

USCIS Lockbox

Attn: SAI-130

131 South Dearborn – 3rd Floor

Chicago, IL 60603-5517

This is all you need!!!!!!!! Best wishes and congrats on the future marriage!!

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

Coincidentally I also abandoned my K1 and flew to my wife's (then-girlfriend) country to get married. I mailed our I-130 about 2 weeks ago from China where we are residing (temporarily).

No, you do not have to use USPS. I do not know about DHL or FedEx, but I used China Post EMS, and it was delivered to the Chicago Lockbox (USCIS, P.O. Box 804616, Chicago, IL 60680-1029) without a problem. I've already received the NOA1.

I'm not sure about the mail system in Jordan, but I personally distrust China Post. If possible, I would recommend driving to the largest city nearby and mail from the central post office, instead of a small branch post office.

Does anyone have experience sending stuff to NVC from overseas?

ghayder, I'm confused as to what you'd want to send to NVC. If you're following the K3 process, you send your forms to the Lockbox. The appropriate USCIS service center should forward your forms to NVC upon approval.
