Hi! I am sending my packet tomorrow, April 13th. Can someone share the USPS Priority Mail address that I should use to send. Will it be PO BOX or for Express mail for Texas?

I'll follow up the previous answer. USPS can only deliver to P.O. Box addresses, so this address is meant for any mail coming from USPS. The other address is meant for other couriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL.

However, I did mail my USPS package to the other (non P.O. Box) address and it was accepted. I did this by mistake, but it didn't seem to be an issue in my case.

If you want to be on the safe side, send any USPS packages to the P.O. Box.

Thank you so much guys for your help. Hope everyone gets their citizenship soon

Do NOT send your N400 package to PO Box.

I think you live in CA.

Send to

USCIS

Attn: N-400

1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S

Suite 100

Phoenix, AZ 85034

Sending N400 by UPS will cost you just $10.

I'll follow up the previous answer. USPS can only deliver to P.O. Box addresses, so this address is meant for any mail coming from USPS. The other address is meant for other couriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL.

However, I did mail my USPS package to the other (non P.O. Box) address and it was accepted. I did this by mistake, but it didn't seem to be an issue in my case.

If you want to be on the safe side, send any USPS packages to the P.O. Box.

Will I be able to get the signed receipt/delivery confirmation? I think I can track the packet though.

We sent ours via USPS Certified Mail and requested online verification. I believe a mailed receipt will be sent as well, but we haven't received that yet.

Based on my previous experience we did receive signed receipts for other packages mailed to PO Boxes.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Ben&Jenna! Also, I found the following very helpful about the PO BOX and Street address for USPS. I hope other fellow members may also get help from this.

Here's a new post from a VJ member:

You can still use the old form for a while, so don't worry about that, but those of you who haven't downloaded the old form will be filling out a slightly different from from your fellow April filers.

Yey! USPS tracking says, my packet was just delivered in Phoenix! Let's see now how long it will take for them to charge my card and send me NOA. :D

Shouldn't take long at all! We were charged on Monday and received electronic acceptance confirmation today. The email says to expect the Receipt Notice within 7-10 days. You shouldn't be too far away now :)
