Hi everyone, I am going to file I-130 soon. I am the petitioner. My question/worry is can I send the package to my family member in u.s.a after preparing the docs so that my sister can mail the I-130 package to the appropriate USCIS address while I vacation with my spouse in the native country a little longer. Or do I have to be present in U.S to file. I was looking for DCF option as well but unfortunately the native country doesn't offer it. If I have to be present in U.S. to submit the package can I mail the package then go for vacation with my spouse? Any feedback will be appreciated. Please advise.

Anyone can mail the package as long as the forms (I130, G325a) have original signatures. So, yes.

Just be aware that any mail (NOA1, any RFEs, etc) will arrive at the physical address listed on the petition.

Btw, your timeline lists I129f.

Thank you guys. I filed for k1 but at the interview fiance was verbally refused. The CO said " I am not going to issue you the visa today I have made my decision" case is on administrative processing since the interview day. They haven't mailed him a refusal letter either. He wasn't given any slip at the interview. We are still 10% hopeful. I am just brainstorming all the possibilities now that k1 has high chance of getting denied. Thank you!

If you marry, make sure to withdraw the I-129F. Also be aware that you have to disclose the I-129F and it's result on the I-130. While it sucks, it is best to be prepared for another AP after the interview.
