Thanks that helps

All I-129F packets go to these addresses:

For U.S. Postal Service:

USCIS P.O. Box 660151 Dallas, TX 75266

For Express mail and courier deliveries:

USCIS Attn: I-129F 2501 South State Highway 121 Business Suite 400 Lewisville, TX 75067

They will forward it to either Vermont or California depending on where you live. You don't do biometrics until AOS stage, you will go to the service center nearest you for that.

OP is asking about the Cover Letter that goes with the package.

You do not need to put this address anymore. As I understand it, when those examples were made, they did not have people mail their form to the lockbox first. When I did my Cover Letter, I simply omitted this on the cover letter.

A proper cover letter has the address of where the letter is going and also whom it was from. The OP should put the address that he/she is sending it to on the cover letter. I gave the 2 options of where it is to be sent, either one of those addresses should be on the cover letter.

But the lockbox center does not read the package. They just forward it to proper center.

I even went on this site to ask what I should do. I ended up putting my address. And for the second address I simply put (per instruction of other VJ members):

United States Department of Homeland Security

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

Service Center and Address TBD

It sufficed, as I received my NOA1, and I hardly doubt that an RFE would be issued for a Cover Letter.

The OP originally was asking if they could use an address that would be closest to their biometrics, and the answer is no. If you are going to put an address to whom the packet is going to use the address that you are sending it to or nothing as J&S did. As I said the proper way to do a cover letter of any sort is to use the address as to where the letter is being sent (as on the outside of the envelope) and the address of the person who is sending it. There will not be an RFE for something so trivial as not using an address.

Hi,

On the example cover leter is says to state the address of "your service center"

Should this be the USCIS Dallas where we send the documents, or should it be our nearest one where we would want to go for biometrics etc in California???

Thanks for the help.

It doesn't really matter; I would address it to the Dallas office because you never really know where they may send the package. Again, it doesn't really matter.

Those sample cover letters need to be changed. At the time those were made you had 3 choices as to where to send your package depending on where you lived in the country. Now they all go to Texas and are forwarded to the service center that is going to be handling your application.
