filing address i-129f

[Jb1 11]

alright guys, i need help. i sent my i-129f petition last week via usps express so i can track the number. the issue is, i sent to the lewisville tx address. it said on the uscis website for express mail send to lewisville tx. but when i tracked it, the update told me the business was closed. i feel like i mailed to th wrong address. can anyone relate to this issue? im sure there is alot of people with the same confusion

These are the addresses as per USCIS's I-129F page:

 

The USCIS Dallas Lockbox

For U.S. Postal Service:

USCIS
P.O. Box 660151
Dallas, TX 75266

For Express mail and courier deliveries:

USCIS
Attn: I-129F
2501 South State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067

 

Are you sure you got the address right with the numbers and all?  What date was the "the business is closed" update?

[Jb1 11]

the update was for march 13 at 2 pm. i sent to the lewisville address. i made sure the address was correct. even says the address on the update..i just want to be sure if thats the correct address for the usps express, if not, will it be forwarded to the dallas tx location?

That's kinda odd considering March 13th is Monday so it's impossible that the office is closed. Try contacting USPS to follow up with them and hopefully they can track down your package. However, it's unlikely that they would forward it to the Dallas location as your recipient address was Lewisville

Do you have any family members that could help you to call USPS to check and get things figured out beforehand? I am really nervous for you and your partner.

i can call usps, is there any way to re-direct the package to a different address?

 

[Jb1 11]

what address did you send to? dallas or lewisville?

[KULtoATL 1,551]

If you can call USPS, you should ask them about wanting it to be forwarded to a different address because I truly have no idea if it can or cannot be done.

We sent our package to Lewisville via FedEx 2-Day 10.30 am. It was delivered directly to their mailroom on a Friday and signed by a staff. By the next Wednesday we received our NOA1 text and e-mail, waiting for the hardcopy now.

[Jb1 11]

they send NOA1 through e-mail? i didnt know that. thats cool..so lewisville too? hmm. i sent from usps express. thats the confusing part. it says on the webpage for usps-dallas but for express-lewisville. maybe i will get a new update tomorrow and if still closed i can try to re-direct to a different address.

[KULtoATL 1,551]

If you have included a G-1145, which is to receive notification via text message and e-mail, they do just that so you know about your NOA1 "unofficially" via text and e-mail first. In the text and e-mail, there would be your receipt number, which can be used for tracking on myUSCIS page. Anyways, between 7-10 days, you will then receive your hardcopy/paper NOA1 and you must not lose that. 

 

RE: Dallas vs. Lewisville... You got it all right. And because you used USPS Express Mail, I am pretty sure it should have been the Lewisville address. Dallas address is just a lockbox and nobody would be there to sign for any packages.

will i get a tracking/receipt number on the hard copy? or do i need a G-1145 for that too?

[KULtoATL 1,551]

The hardcopy will have the NOA1 date and your receipt number that is the same as the one stated in the text and e-mail. No need for additional G-1145 to receive the hardcopy.

i didnt send the package with a G-1145..is that a problem or no? what is G-1145 for?
