Address Question for Fed-Ex or UPS

[marie09 5]

So I was just checking the address we're going to need to mail off our AOS package, I-130 + I-485 etc..

We're going to Fed-ex it I think...

On the I-130 instructions it says if you are sending it concurrently with the I-485 it lists this address:

USCIS

Attn: FBAS

131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor

Chicago

IL 60603-5517

What is FBAS?

On the I-485 instructions it lists the same address but tells you to put Attn: AOS

Which makes sense but now i'm wondering what FBAS stands for?

What did everyone else put?

Thank you I know it's a minor detail, but I still really appreciate your help!

It stand for Family Based Adjustment of Status

As for the address, they are actually the same except for the last 4 digits of the zip code. We sent our package to the address in the I-485 directions and it got there with no problems

Thank you! I think we'll send ours to the same one as yours since we know USCIS has yours and it's getting updates.

So that will be:

USCIS

Attn: AOS

131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor,

Chicago

IL 60603-5520

Yup that's correct! We actually sent ours USPS so it was the other address. I'm not sure how much UPS Express charges but it might be cheaper to use USPS priority mail; it got our package there in 2 days..on a Sunday! and it was only about $8
