yea it was USPS....my tracking says they tried to deliver on the 14th at 8 pm!!! Who the hell delivers at 8!

Did you send it to the PO box? If so, it should be sitting in the box where somebody will pick it up.

Also a Feb filer. Our I-130 was delivered last night, so we're waiting for the NOA1.

By the way, there's another similar thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/479206-i-130-feb-2014-filers/

Maybe someone could merge the two?

Hi! I have a question. My hubby is from Seattle, Wa. He's planning to file our petition by next week and he will send it to

USCIS Phoenix Lockbox

PO Box 21700

Phoenix, AZ 85036

Is this the right address? Do u know where can we send the petition which is not a P.O. Box Address?

Thanks

Will he be sending it with USPS or another postal service? If USPS, then send it to the address you already mentioned (which is a PO box); otherwise:

USCIS

Attn: I-130

1820 E Skyharbor Circle S

Suite 100

Phoenix, AZ 85034

Just as personal opinion, I'm happy we sent it to the PO box, because that meant we didn't have to worry about re-delivery. Our application arrived on Saturday and was left in the PO box for pickup.

I am the beneficiary.

Hi purpleblush,

The PO box address is if you're using US Postal Services or USPS. You can opt for Express mail and courier deliveries, such as FedEx or UPS and sent to this address.:

USCIS
ATTN: I-130
1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S
Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85034
Hope this helps.
