Guys, those that are in Texas did you send your from i-129F to the Dallas Lockbox or the Lewisville address?

If you use USPS, you need to send it to Dallas address, as it is a P.O. Box address. Courier services do not service P.O. Box address, so you will use Lewisville address.

USPS Priority Mail to the P O Box is fast, easy, inexpensive, and can be tracked.

Just make sure you have tracking. I have used FedEX, USPS Priority mail both got there next day got my notification email and tet. It's really about how much you want to pay.

 

Don;t forget your G-1145 notification form on top with monies attached.

I would send to Lewisville and use FedEx (make sure you put it in  one of their mailing boxes as it gives it an extra layer of protection) over the package envelope and I echo some of the other members I would never use the post office!
