Sending AOS packet

[eclowjpd 0]

Is it a good idea to send the AOS documents, I-485 etc. via certified or registered mail? Ours is to go to Chicago, which we live near, but Chicago PO is known for more than it's share of missing mail.

We sent ours USPS certified with signature confirmation of receipt. Peace of Mind and we had a record of sending it.

Our process took 96 days from the Mailing Date. We are now waiting for GC.

I just wanted to make sure that you know that all AOS applications go to Chicago regardless of your location and are forwarded on to the appropriate centers after they are initially reviewed ... So make sure you are sending it to the right address and not the local office address ...

You should be sending it to the Chicago Lockbox address which I can't remember what it is but it does say in the instructions on the I-485 ...

Here's what the i_485 instructions say on the gov. website.

Thanks
