AOS & Mailboxes Etc.

[reeses16 8]

Has anyone used a mailbox service company, such as Mailbox Etc. (MBE), when filing there AOS?

I'm hoping to file AOS in July partly to beat fees increase but mostly to prevent a lapse in work authorization.

- I will be moving to Seattle in August or Sept and do not have housing arranged-no address!

- My husband-to-be will get here in July (temp EAD exp in Sept)

- MBE provides a Seattle street number address (Not a PO Box), & I can call and check if I have mail, I can request them forward the mail to me, and I can arrange it all via phone.

Does MBE sound like a good option? Anyone with experience doing this? Think USCIS would reognize this is a mail services address? Would I be okay if I included a letter of acceptance to a Seattle school and employer letter from my new employer in Seattle?

Could I file with using my parent's mailing address (for correspondence), but request biometric in Seattle explaning the situation and providing the evidence I mentioned above?

It needs to be a place of residence, not just a street address. Especially since some of it depends on the mail person as well - sometimes it won't be delivered by USPS if the name isn't on the inside of the box, etc. Sending a letter of employment won't fix that, as far as I can see.

You'll still run a very high risk of not having your mail delivered. I'd just use your present address and do the AR11 when you move, or use a relative's/friend's address, or hold off and suck it up and accept the higher fees.

As luck would have it, we are moving the day after the interview . Should I take a completed AR11 to the interview or should I send something sooner? Since the move date has already changed once, I hate to send a change of address too soon.
