I have a PO Box also and intend to use that as my address even though I have a street address. It's just my personal preference.

PO BOX IS FINE !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Hi I was wondering which address field I should enter my mailing address into for my PO BOX. This is the address I want to receive mail at. Is it item number 2 or something else. I don't want the mail to end up getting sent to item number 18 the "where your relative plans to live" item. Also where do I indicate the place for my wife to receive the future contents that we must submit? She is still in her home country right now. will the processor confuse one of the other listed addresses as this and mail the stuff there?

Please let me know as soon as possible.
