CR-1 Application Question

[Lover500 0]

Hi guys,

I'm getting ready to send an application from Egypt for a visa for my husband. Im in Egypt and I was wondering if I, or my family, could send them the application to NVC directly, or if i HAVE to send it through the embassy in cairo. If we go through the embassy they will need a photocopy of both passports to schedule the appointment. We cant get his passport yet cause there has been delay. So i was wondering if theres a way i can send it to America without going through the embassy. It will save alot of time if we can, and I really want to get back to my family so if theres a faster way to do it let me know.

Thanks

Any Help?

I would imagine since MO. is the same area as KS and IL it would go to the lock box same as those states. Since they divide the country basically in half when assigning service centers.

I just checked the USCIS site for that again and you are right MO. has been omitted from their list so as i said above i would send it to the lock box for the states around MO. that should be the correct one.

I guess MO gets no love lol, sorry. Actually if you're in MO, you'd file to the Chicago Lockbox for Cali according to the downloaded instructions. Are you just visiting Egypt for a couple of days or will be there for a few months? If you will be there for a few months, you might file through the U.S. Embassy in Egypt. If you go to the USCIS website and download the instructions page from their website this is what I found:

If you are the petitioner and you reside in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, or Wyoming and you are filing only Form I-130, mail the petition to the USCIS Lockbox Facility. The address is as follows:

USCIS P.O. Box 804625 Chicago, IL 60680-4107

Petitioners residing abroad: If you live in Canada, file your petition at the Vermont Service Center. Exception: If you are a U.S. citizen residing in Canada, and you are petitioning for your spouse, child, or parent, you may file the petition at the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate, except for those in Quebec City. If you reside elsewhere outside the United States file, your relative petition at the USCIS office overseas or the U.S. Embassy or consulate having jurisdiction over the area where you live. For further information, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate.

See MO still gets some love!
