Where to send I-129f packet

[kirby808 0]

Hi everyone,

I was reading the step by step checklist guide to making the I-129F packet and it said to send the completed packet to Texas in the U.S.A. On the actual form it says for certain areas to send it to certain states. So my question is do I follow what the form states and send it to where my state is located in or do I just follow the guide here and send it to Texas? Thanks.

Hi!

The new thing is to send your file to the Texas Lockbox facilities, in Lewisville (or Lewisburg, I can't remember, I'm new too and I'm the beneficiary). They made it this way to be more efficient and (possibly) faster. Once they receive it, they will sent it to the appropriate Service Center, according to where you live. They'll let you know when it leaves their offices through email or textmessage.

We got our textmessage yesterday !

Aurore.

Change of Filing Location for Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) August 12th, 2010

by VJ News

WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a change in filing location instructions and addresses for the Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) (Form I-129F). The new instructions, dated 6/14/10, are part of an overall effort to transition the intake of forms from Service Centers to USCIS Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee intake to a Lockbox environment allows USCIS to provide customers with more efficient and effective initial processing of applications/petitions and fees.

Beginning Aug. 3, 2010 all Form I-129F petitions being filed by a U.S. citizen on behalf of a fiancé(e) or spouse must be submitted to the USCIS Dallas Lockbox facility.

For U.S. Postal Service:

USCIS

PO Box 660151

Dallas, TX 75266

For Express mail and courier deliveries:

USCIS

Attn: I-129F

2501 South State Highway 121 Business

Suite 400

Lewisville, TX 75067

Detailed guidance can be found in the updated Form I-129F instructions online at www.uscis.gov (click on the Forms tab).

The Vermont and California Service Centers will forward incorrectly filed petitions to the USCIS Dallas Lockbox for a period of 45 days until Sept. 17, 2010. After Sept. 17, 2010, petitions and fees submitted at the Service Centers will be returned to the applicant, with a note advising them of the correct filing location.

Applicants filing a form at a USCIS Lockbox facility may elect to receive an e-mail and/or text message notifying them that their petition has been accepted by completing Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance, and attaching it to the first page of their application.
