DS 230 PO Box?

 Share

8 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I live in a country outside of the USA right now so all of my residential/mailing addresses during this process have been China, not the US. However on the DS230 it asks for mailing address in the USA if different from residential address in the US: which it is... Is it alright to place a PO Box for the mailing address in the US and the GC etc. will be sent there or should I put another house address even though it doesn't correspond with the residential address. I just don't want any problems receiving correspondences while back in the US.

So there's no NVC if DCF in China...what should I expect to come then? it's been difficult understanding it all because of the different situation we're in.

thanks again!
