It also says to file it at a different location than what I was instructed to file it at. It says the Lewisville Lockbox in Texas. But I filed at the Vermont Service center because that's where I was instructed. I would deff. check to see if you're supposed to send it to the Lewisville or somewhere else.

who do we ask ??

Supposedly the address is different depending upon how you send it, like what service you use... That is probably why I needed to send it to Vermont instead of the center in Texas, even though I lived in Texas at the time of filing. I really wish USCIS would start allowing the petition to be submitted Electronically. They're always talking about paper reduction acts...well there's one way you can reduce you're paper, USCIS.

Carefully read the instruction that comes with the form.

I recall some forms say leave it blank and some say put "none".

Be completely accurate to follow the direction to avoid any delay.

I read and checked over the form several times myself before sending it in.

Good luck

who do we ask ??

I suggest emailing them: Lockboxsupport@dhs.gov to find out for sure which lockbox to use. Even if someone suggests you on here, I would still email to make sure. If you choose the wrong lockbox, then they can forward it to the right one, but sometimes they will return it to you and then you have to send it to the right one...just more time consumption.

If you are not currently present in the US, then nothing is put in 15a-h.

The newer versions of forms say to leave blank if you have no answer. Older forms said put N/a or none.

Mailing. ALL K1 petitions (Form I-129f) go to what is called the Dallas Lockbox. That is a mail and fee receiving center. It is not the Texas Service Center, btw. After they prepare your file, it will be forwarded to a Service Center for processing. Your receipt (NOA1) will indicate the Service Center where yours will process.

So if sending via the post office (USPS), for example Priority Mail with tracking, it goes to the Dallas address, which is a PO Box. That is the best way in my opinion.

But if using a courier type service like FedEx or UPS or even post office Express Mail...those can't be delivered to a PO Box. They need a physical street address. Thus the Lewisville address is a physical address. Lewisville is a suburb of Dallas. Both are the "Dallas Lockbox".
