Address - could mail possibly be sent?

[chaine1 116]

Hi all,

My husband (New Zealand) and I (USA) have lived in Kuwait for the past 5 years. I am now filing the I-130 for him, but as to the new guidelines given on August 15 of 2011, I must mail my packet to the Chicago Lockbox.

My question is this: Is there a possibility that USCIS would send us anything in the mail from America to Kuwait? The post here is virtually non-existent, so if they were to do that, we would likely never receive it.

If it possible that USCIS would mail us something, can anyone recommend a course of action? I had thought about including a note in my cover page about it, but I don't know how closely those are read.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks a million - I can't tell you how glad I am to have found this community.

I put an address where I wanted the mail to go and they still sent it to my home in US. Maybe others have a trick idea.

They will definitely send you mail, at least the first notice of action saying they received your case, and the second saying it's approved.

Do you have an address in the US? If yes then give it as the petitioner's address.

Thanks for the responses and the heads up. I do have an address in the US I could use - but where would I put that on the I-130? If I put it in the address section (section B), will it determine where I have my interview? ie - would it create problems for me, as my real address is in Kuwait?

Thanks again!
