Hey guys, while printing additional G1145 notification forms for all three applications, I noticed that Chicago is not the only lockbox location USCIS has, they also have one in Lewisville, TX, which of course is geographically closer to us (we're in Houston area). So I'm wondering if I could still send it to Chicago lockbox address located at

USCIS

P.O. Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120

The form also says to verify where to file by reviewing the filing instructions on each form, which in our case are I 485, I-131 and I 765?

Has anyone else done that from the state of Texas? I don't see any restrictions or a chart on UCSIC website indicating which regions should submit to which office, so in that case I think it's upto the petitioner?

Any thoughts?

Follow the I-485 instructions. Filing for AOS based on a marriage from a K-1 visa gets sent to the Chicago lockbox address. Send all 3 applications in one envelope together to the address you posted.

The Dallas lockbox address is where you mailed the I-129F petition to start the whole K-1 immigration process.

Yes, follow the instructions on the I-485 relative to filing. That's why they provide the instructions.
