For those who filed in the NYC area...DId you send your I485 to the Chicago Lockbox or direct mail to 1 Federal Plaza.

There is a letter that says to direct mail to 1 Federal Plaza. I am just wondering if there is a difference in time depending where you file the initial application?

Thanks

Hey,

Check out page 5 of the instructions for the form I485 (found by googling "I-485 instructions"). Do you fit under the categories on there? If so, you'll see on the lower left hand corner where it says to mail it to the Chicago Lock Box (address on page 6).

They list more than one address depending on how you send the packet.

Upon my reading of the form instructions I found a few other little details I had gotten wrong while preparing my packet, so I highly recommend reading them in full as you review your packet.

K-1:

January 28, 2009: NOA1

June 4, 2009: Interview - APPROVED!!!

October 11, 2009: Wedding

AOS:

December 23, 2009: NOA1!

January 22, 2010: Bogus RFE corrected through congressional inquiry "EAD waiting on biometrics only" Read about it here.

March 15, 2010: AOS interview - RFE for I-693 vaccination supplement - CS signed part 6!

March 27, 2010: Green Card recieved

ROC:

March 1, 2012: Mailed ROC package

March 7, 2012: Tracking says "notice left"...after a phone call to post office.

More detailed time line in profile.
