Hello, I am a US citizen and I want to get my parents here in the US. These are my questions and concerns:

1. Is it possible to address all the paperworks to my workplace?

2. I live in Massachusetts. Is it possible to bring my parents to Virginia Beach (they could stay with my sister whos is not a citizen yet)for them to live there? They can't stay in my house because it is too small for all of us. Thank you!

Hi Ryan H, My workplace is OK with receiving any correspondence. I actually am the one receiving them. Thank you for the quick response!

Your making a simple straight forward as receiving mail more complicated. What's wrong with receiving mail at your place?

What happens if you happen to be no longer employed at that place while the petition is in progress? You will have to do change of address..

What if the USCIS do a background check on you and see that your place of resident is different?

"My workplace is OK with receiving any correspondence. I actually am the one receiving them". Is this company policy or your own policy?

What happens if you get promoted and no longer in charge of receiving mail?

I work in a small company. I am in charge of the incoming and outgoing mail. I just asked my boss if it is Ok if I use my workplace as my address to receive correspondence and other documents from INS and he said it is OK. I am not planning to look for another job for a little while.
