I-129F / G-325a and docs: Use mailing address or physical address?

[RK_and_Inday 10]

To all,

I (RK) am in the process of assembling I-129F and supporting docs for K-1 visa.

USCIS website says address box on forms are considered mailing address. But I have a mailing address which is different than my physical address (place of residence).

So my question is this: if I do keep my mailing address on all docs, letters, forms (e.g. I-129F question #2--"my address"--, cover letters, etc) but still list physical address on I-129F, question #14 [address fiance intends to live] are the different addresses going to cause red flag somewhere in the process or complicate matters? Or should I fill all forms out using physical address* and avoid conflict? Or am I just worrying/overthinking too much?

Am just trying to do everything to "a tee" as advised here so would appreciate your collective voice of experience. Thank you!

**I could recieve mail at physical address but chose not to some time back due to destruction of box by multiple car strikes, mailbox "baseball," and county road equipment collisions all of which is rampant in my locale.

If you are having that knd of trouble with your physical address then use mailing address for your forms. It might be an idea of when you fill in Q14 to write an explanation of why this address is different to your mailing address. Just let them know the reason why in case they ask. They may not as long as they have a mailing address and it is not a PO box you are sweet. I mean you could put Q14 is where fiance may live but it could be a new development and not have letter boxes yet so you would use another address. Get my drift lol I think you will be fine just explain on a little note attached .

First, this isn't what the OP is asking.

Second, this is wrong information. It clearly states on the I-129F instructions that all petitions are to be sent to Texas. Not Chicago.

I suggest using your secure mailing address, as long as it's not a P.O. Box.
