Good night all!

I am wondering if anyone has ever sent the I-130 packet from outside of the US via devilvery service (eg Fed Ex) and if so, did you send it to the Lockbox address or is there another address you should send it to if you use this method.

Thanks for the help! :)

I would think the answer would be to send it to the same address. There is nothing in the literature on uscis to indicate otherwise. However, is there a reason you aren't filing DCF?

DCF? Wat does that stand for? You lost me on that one!

Thanks for the help though!

DCF = Direct Consular Filing - If you and your non US Citizen spouse live overseas and want to move to the USA to live together then this is the place for you. (forum)

It is usually a lot faster than filing in the US. I don't know what happens when you have to establish domicile and file your i-184, but the forum would help you with that.

Anyway, good luck to you.
