P. O Box as a mailing address, is it ok?

[bilson4real 2]

I will be filling my N400 on 08/20/2009, and I will equally vacate my current home for a new one by late October. Is it appropriate to use a P.O Box address as my mailing address to avoid possible change of address for correspondence regarding my N400? Thou, I am fully aware that an immigrant must file change of address form with USCIS whenever change of address occur; which I will definitely do. Thanks for your help.

I have these worries too, It's because I live in Saudi Arabia and they are using PO BOXEs here instead of home address.

Don't use a PO Box. I'm not sure if it's okay or not, but if you must a mail box at a private clinic would be best. So you get 1234 Main ST #71 instead of PO Box 71

It's not recommended to use PO Box. Only APO box if you're overseas- as far I know from

On my N-400 application, I put both my residential (street) address, and my mailing address (PO Box). To the OP, I feel it is perfectly legitimate to use a PO box as your mailing address, 10's of 10,000 of people have PO boxes as their mailing address, for any number of reasons. The N-400 application has a space for mailing address for this reason, to accommodate people who do not receive their mail at their residential address.

However, when the USCIS processed my N-400 application, the mailing address/PO box was not entered (clerical error) so, my first notice was mailed to my street address. I phoned and was able to have a "change of address" processed my phone to ensure the PO box/mailing address showed correctly on my application. all future correspondence for my application was sent to the PO box.

I used www.earthclassmail.com. You get a street address. They will also open and scan your mail for you and forward it to you if you want. N400 allows for mailing address different than physical address. Worked for me. I am in Japan.

From K1 through passport, we have never used anything BUT our PO Box. All is well.

So how do you deal with FedEx and UPS? Yeah, if you live in an overcrowded congested area, using a PO box is the only safe way to get your mail, been there, done that. Said to myself, there has to be a better way than spending my life in traffic jams and waiting in long lines.

Hello buddy, I wish my opinion help you out in something. I think immigration does not like too much that idea. I recommend you to put the mailing address in a closed friend or maybe in your job, if that is possible for you. USCIS, they don't watch with good eyes that, because they agree that in case of a loss of any document, it is going to be a problem for you and I think they are right. In case you, or maybe you don't pay the P.O BOX or whatever happens that they cannot send you the document, my friend you are on a big trouble. I tell you that please follow my recommendation of looking for a closed friend or a relative, or even your work address, too if it is possible. It is better be prepared and be aware of everything or else you won't regret later for a future problem or inconvinience, thanks and bye, take care and Good Luck!
