  1. I mailed my I-130 to the Phoenix lockbox as directed on the instructions.  Does anybody know what service center the I-130 would go to after everything is finished at the lockbox?  I would like to track the timelines at the correct service center.

      It will be routed based on internal rules with USCIS. There's no way to know for sure where the I-130 will end up until you get the receipt notice (NOA1), which will state the service center.

      Odds are Nebraska right now, but nothing is guaranteed.

  2. Does any K1 visa holders for Canada and Mexico have any experience with the following policy or have any more information to share?  My fiancee has a K1 visa but we are not married yet and have not applied for the green card yet but has an ill father in Mexico he needs to visit.

    Automatic visa revalidation is available to K-1 visa holders

     

    I found this on a Nolo website:

     

    For once, the rumors are true: Although the K-1 visa is single entry, its holder can take advantage of a concept called “automatic revalidation.” That means that you can take a short trip – of up to 30 days -- to either Canada or Mexico, without having to give up your I-94 when you leave.

    But you’ll definitely need to take a copy of your Form I-94, as well as your passport. (For extra safety, make copies of both and leave them with a friend in the U.S.) So long as you are within the time limit on the I-94 when you ask to come back, and haven’t become inadmissible to the U.S., you should be allowed reentry for the balance of the time remaining on your I-94.

    This possibility comes from the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, at 22 C.F.R. Section 41.112.

    Any time you leave the U.S., however, you are taking a risk. A U.S. border official could be unfamiliar with this provision of the law, or not believe that you’re still planning to get married, or could decide that you have become inadmissible. Consult an experienced immigration attorney for a personal analysis.
