Where to file I-485

[pacharya 6]

I am sure this has been asked numerous times and also it is mentioned in the guide as well as on USCIS site but I am still confused about where should I send my application.

On VJ, it says that I485 should go to Chicago lockbox (http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos) but on USCIS page it states that it should be going to Dallas lockbox (http://www.uscis.gov/i-485).

Has anyone recently filed I485 from DC Metro area? Where did you guys send your application to? Did USCIS receive your package?

Also, I had a question about I693 form. My wife had her medical done in Sydney in September 2013 and we are wondering if we need to fill out I693 form or not. She handed over the brown/yello package to CBP when she first entered states. Do we still need to get medical done again?

Thanks in advance for all your help guys !!

You are filing for AOS from a K1 visa so it is Chicago regardless of where you are filing from.

Both advise to send it to chicago. http://www.uscis.gov/i-485-addresses k-1 falls in the first category.

+3 for Chicago on a K1 AOS.

Chicago Lock Box is a good choice.

My husband and I are living in the DC Metro area and we have just sent our AOS to the Chicago lockbox yesterday.

For the Form I-693, we went to a civil surgeon: page 1 and 5 are in a sealed envelope in our Package (don't forget to sign it with the civil surgeon). We also submitted a copy of the DS3025.

Good Luck!

Chicago, I sent mine there in Nov and it's going through, I have EAD and AP through. You should not need another medical, hers is still good and it should be in the package she handed over at POE.
