Is a PO Box okay for the I-129F?

[-Marie- 11]

Hello everyone!

My fiancé lives in Vail,CO. Only a few people can receive the regular mail at their home. That's why he has a PO box.

Is it okay to mention the mailing address instead of the physical address on the I-129F?

Should not be an issue.

Thank you!

We used a PO box on the I-129F, and it wasn't much of a problem. I think the G-325A asked for an actual physical address, and we gave that (I don't know if the latest version still asks for a physical address or whether we may have misread the form). Unfortunately, that must have been put into some database as our mailing address because we occasionally received something there from USCIS. Fortunately, it was nothing crucial. Approvals and green cards all came to the PO box.

When we moved to a new apartment in our city, we were required to update the physical address, but there was a place to indicate that the PO box was still our mailing address.

Once you move to the U.S., wherever you're receiving your mail, put a sticker with both of your last names inside the box so the mail carrier can see it easily. This way, official mail addressed to your maiden name won't be accidentally returned to USCIS as has happened from time to time.
