Hello,

I'm about to file my K-1 petition (I-129F package), and I'm unsure where to send it / which Service Center to use. The DHS websites, even typing in "k-1 service center" into Google and filing their office locator links, have said that for me, who lives in Minnesota, the St. Paul office is the correct one (#######? They don't even process those!), another has said the Nebraska service center is the one to use (I also don't think they process those), and only in one place linked to through a VisaJourney subpage did I find this

Which says to use the California one, at:

California Service Center

24000 Avila Road

2nd Floor, Room 2312

Laguna Niguel, CA 92677

Is the California one the correct one to send the entire package to? Also, I've heard the best way to send it is in a USPS package requiring signature. What is the exact best way, Priority Mail envelope with signature confirmation, or some type of Registered Mail?

Thanks!

Check on the website, Only Vermont or California deal with the I-129f

My fiance used USPS priority mail with no problems.

Good luck.
