I did a quick forum search and didn't see any matching posts, but I would find it hard to believe I'm the first to notice this.

On the USCIS page, "Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)" at this URL:

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

It shows the California address as:

California Service Center

P.O. Box 10130

Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0130

This is actually wrong. The ZIP+4 should be 92607-1013.

I assume packages sent to the listed ZIP will still get there, but I'm wondering if anyone else experienced any delays as a result...

Sorry, I didn't see any other posts about this.

I got a response back from USCIS acknowledging the error but that it wouldn't affect processing. They didn't say one way or another if or when they would fix it, though.
