Mailing out I-130 packet from Canada

[Dualie 185]

I am positive I saw a post regarding mailing the I-130 packet from Canada on here but I have spent the better part of the day going over all this stuff and I can't find that post to save my soul. Hubby and I got everything together while I was in Fargo on the weekend and then realized that a document was up here. And then there was the blizzard...and our timing went out the window.

I am back in Canada and he had to go out to the oilfields for a month, so I have our packet all ready to go. I am sure someone on here said you can mail this from Canada but my confusion sets in where the address is concerned. He is from North Dakota, so if it were mailed from there it would go to Phoenix, AZ. Now, there are two addresses for this : one for USPS deliveries, and another for non-USPS deliveries. I would GUESS that this would be a non-USPS delivery, but then I read a post that that is for courier companies. Canada Post, I am sure, is not a private courier company. THEN, I read an address for OUTSIDE the US which is a Chicago lockbox. I am confused now because I am not sure if that means if the petitioner lives outside the US, or if it's just the packet coming from outside the US.

If you all understand all this, I commend you. My question is simply...which address do I send it to from Canada? My brain is mush, I apologize...

I am eternally grateful for any answer at this point

I sent mine out the other day from Toronto to the Chicago Lockbox, express mail (you need a signature return).

Send it to the Phoenix one if the USC lives where it should be sent to Phoenix. When the package crosses the border from Canada Post to the USA it goes into the hands of the USPS. So send it to the USPS address if you choose to go with Canada post.

Suggestion: check pricing for Canada post vs UPS sv FedFex (and vs even DHL.)

NLR is right. DO not send it to the Chicago Lockbox.

The Chicago box would be good if your hubby is a permanent resident of Canada (which I assume is not your case).
