I thought you can't use P.O. BOX address for USCIS mails? Why can't you get any mails to your physical address? Don't you live there? I'm worried for you now.

I agree with PinkMelody on this --why can't you get mail at your physical address? You can't use a P.O. BOX address with the USCIS.

I thought you can't use P.O. BOX address for USCIS mails? Why can't you get any mails to your physical address? Don't you live there? I'm worried for you now.

We live in the Rockies in CO, and our condo building does not have mailboxes, most places up here don't get mail at the physical address, ad just about everyone has a PO Box here...

Why can't you use PO Boxes?? I've read here about other people that have used their PO Boxes for their paperwork

I thought you couldn't use PO boxes because I feel like I read that several times during the application process --but I can't remember if it was on here, or on the actual government forms and instructions. If you know you read something to the opposite then I defer to you because I did not research this issue beforehand since it did not apply to me.

Did you fill out your physical address for the forms? How did you communicate to them that you cannot receive mail there, and that they should use your PO box?
