A letter of intent

[memmy 3]

I'm filling in Fiance Letter of Intent and have a question:

A sample of Fiance Letter of Intent provided in the Downloads section here asks to state United States Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [ADDRESS OF FILING LOCATION]or when submitting for interview United States Department of State

United States Consulate, [name of country where Embassy is located][Embassy Address.

Should I provide address of FILING LOCATION and NAME OF COUNTRY WHERE EMBASSY is located and its address? Or I will have to send a letter of intent twice: 1) when my fiance will send his petition to the service center in Dallax, Texas, and 2) when I will go for an interview in Ukraine.

Thanks for your replies!

We sent the first letters of intent to USCIS with the Dallas address. We sent the second set to DOS with the consulate address.

What is the difference between sending the package by U.S. Postal Service to USCIS in Dallas, TX or by Express mail and courier deliveries to Lewisville, TX 7?

Does express mail mean the package will be delivered faster, and there is less chance it may be lost? If we send it by express mail, can we still fill in Lockbosx Notification form?

The Dallas address is a post office box for US Mail to which couriers such as FedEx and UPS may not deliver. The Lewisville address is a physical address for Currier or express mail which requires signature on delivery. Two delivery points for one USCIS location so it does not matter which address you use on top of your letters of intent.

The speed and security of your delivery depends on what you want to pay, faster and safer costs more. I used FedEx overnight to the Lewisville address.

Good luck!

If we send our petition by FedEx to Lewisville, do we still have to fill in Lockbox notification form?

What is a Lockbox notification form?

What is a Lockbox notification form?

It is form G-1145 ( provided in a fiance package): E-notification of application acceptance.

It is form G-1145 ( provided in a fiance package): E-notification of application acceptance.

That form is optional. If you include it then you'll probably get email and/or text messages letting you know when your package has been accepted by USCIS. It's free, so it doesn't hurt to include it, and getting the notification can provide a little extra peace of mind. On the other hand, some of the document intake workers aren't very thorough, and don't always enter the G-1145 info into the system, which means some people never get the notice.

I was in a restaurant with my mother when I got the notices for my wife and step-kids AOS packages. Nine text messages, one after the other. I almost fell out of my chair.

Ok, thanks a lot! We will definitely include it then.

Sorry I've never heard it called that...G-1145 an optional form. It doesn't provide notification of receipt of your package what it does is it provides you notification that your petition has been accepted. This is an early notification of what is referred to here as NOA1.\

I submitted it for both the I-129f and I-485 (AOS). Optional but I would recommend it.

Aaahhh...Jim beat me to it
