HELP before i send paper work

[uk2usa 0]

i'm hoping to send my AOS tomorrow.

just have a few questions b4 i do so.

- i'm sending my I-485 together with I-765 and I-131, do i send it all to USCIS Service Center, P.O. Box 87485, Lincoln, NE 68501-7485 ?

cos my fiance keeps telling me i have to send it all to Vermont.

- do i need a cover letter with every form?

- can someone explain what the I-140 form is? as i thought the EAD was the I-765?

i think thats all for now.

thanx guys in advance for all your help.

Send everything to the Chicago PO box.

I-140 is not used for AOS in family based cases it is for work visa cases. I-765 is used for EAD in family based cases.

The directions on the I-485 say to send to the Chicago Lockbox - since your EAD and AP are interim benefits based off the I-485, pay more attention to what the I-485 says.

Yes, go with the cool crowd! Send everything to the Chicago Lockbox in the same envelope. Its the hip (an correct) thing to do these days.

Always always always check the instructions on the latest forms as well since there are some people who don't need to send to the Chicago lockbox.
