Where do I send my application?

[Aya820 33]

Okay I'm sorry in advance because this seems like a really stupid question.

I live in Ohio and was wondering where to file the I-130 (I am filing as CR-1). On the I-130 instructions it says the following:

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

BUT THEN...below that it says if mailing courier/express, send here:

For couriers/express deliveries:

USCIS Attn: FBAS 131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor Chicago, IL 60603-5517

I'm really confused on which place to send it because right above the second address it talks about sending the I-130 form with I-485 to another address...would the second address be where I mailed it priority overnight via post office? or use the first address? Thanks in advance.

It is telling you that you have two mail options. Express or regular mail. It will reach the correct department at USCIS.

OP is asking whether priority would be considered express/courier or regular mail, I think. Finn, if you are reading, where did you send your FedEx package?? Others, USPS priority... is it considered express/courier? (I was thinking of going USPS priority).

Fedex (and other overnight options) can only be sent to a physical address. so it would be option #2. Regular mail is address #1. I put the toll free number down as their phone number for FedEx delivery. I don't know anything about USPS priority!
