You mail your packet to the Chicago lockbox and they will forward it on to the appropriate office.

Good luck on your journey

Where he currently lives should be used to determine where to send to.

Unless he has a home in CA, I would use Virginia as the place I'm living in.

This is not a correct statement for K-1 filers.

He should use the address he knows that he will receive mail at for the duration of the process. He'll get NOA1 (I-797) and NOA2 (I-797) and perhaps letters from NVC once they send the petition off. If he plans on being in Virginia the entire time and is assured he will receive mail there then he can use that address and file with VSC. If there is someone in CA (a parent perhaps?) whose address is more consistant then he should file with CSC.

OOps! Sorry about that!

They look where the petitioner currently lives in order to determine the service center.

If he lives in VA now, send it to Vermont. If he lives in CA, send it to California. The requirement does not say "if you are from..."

thank you bobby for your reply.

i was looking into it again myself and we will send it to vermont now.

i really hope that this wont take forever but who doesnt right?

i am sure i will have tons of more questions during thsi journey of ours and am really thankful that theres people that can offer help.

thank you guys

No problem.

On the wait - since he is in the military, he can expedite his petition, and you can get it done much faster than the rest of us.

There is no such thing as a "California citizen". He's a "US Citizen" residing in Virginia. Perhaps he still has a California driver license. If he's in the military, he's not required to change it. That's about the only relevent California based issue.
