Quick question.

I am getting ready to send out my I-129F

It says for US Postal Service to send to the Dallas PO Box

then it says

"For Express mail and courier deliveries:"

to send to the Lewisville, TX address

I was going to sent it via Express Mail US Postal Service. I am assuming that can go to the Dallas PO Box correct?

I had filed a petition previously and sent it to the California PO Box via Express Mail US Postal Service and it was accepted just fine.

I just wanted to confirm before sending.

Do not use the P.O. Box use the LEWISVILLE, TX address for express mail they received mine the second day with no problem...

Any thought as to which is faster? Do envelopes sent to the PO Box get processed faster or slower then if sent to the physical address in Lewisville, TX? I assume the headquarters fir processing must be at the physical address? And those would in the hands quickly then someone having to go get the items from the post office (next day?)

I am looking at either sending Express Mail US Post office or FedEx.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?
This is perhaps not an answer to your specific question, but it's worth considering. Use USPS "priority mail" with delivery confirmation (a small yellow slip that you get at any Post Office). The green "certified mail with return receipt" card will take more time, in comparison. Overnight Express mail (or FedEx) is NOT necessary. Edited by TBoneTX

Hi all, just to make sure I understand correctly, no one has experienced that neither PO box or other address Lewiville, TX is any quicker than another correct. So sending to the PO box via USPS is perfectly fine, correct?

~Lo que es para ti nadie te lo quita- What is meant for you no one will ever take away.~

?/?/1992- I relocated to Ecuador when I was 12 yrs. old, and throughout my time there, met my now fiancée then first boyfriend. We dated on and off even after I returned to the US. Then we split as childhood relationships tend to.

10/3/2009- I went back to Ecua after 14 years and we reconnected, got back together one day after my arrival. I was now 31.

1/3/2010- I returned to be with my sweetheart, and ensure myself this was it, result-it was ok to let the heart lead.

9/23/2010- Ecua bound once more

10/27/2010- He proposed while I was in Ecuador =)

6/21/2011- Received our NOA1!

10/5/2011- Received Noa2

2012 fiancé arrived we married ~ best decision ever

8/2012 applied for AOS

9/2012 RFE 1 for not translating birth certificate

6/2013 RFE 2 for a mistaken blank space under spouse name and vaccination record

If using strictly USPS you mail to the P.O. Box. If using commercial carriers (i.e. UPS, FEDEX, DHL) you mail it to Lewisville TX. I don't think it makes a difference. I sent mine USPS priority flat rate mail on April 1(Friday) and they received it April 5 (Monday). Then was forwarded to California Service Center. I am from California by the way.
