i-130 sent to chicago with belgian postal service

[Taygi 0]

Hi,

 

We sent our I-130 two weeks ago by Belgian mail. I checked the delivery status and I got the message that the address was incorrect and it's being shipped back. 

 

I sent it to:

USCIS
P.O. Box 804625
Chicago, IL 60680-4107

 

If this is not the correct address than what is the correct one...?

 

Thanks

Thanks, that's where I got the original address from.

 

I was hoping a Belgian could tell me what address they used. I've contacted the Belgian mailing company to check which service they use, but their website and customer service for questions seems surprisingly unhelpful.

As a national postal carrier, BPost would deliver to the national postal carrier in the US, ie. the USPS.  BPost is the designated Universal Postal Union member for Belgium, which predicates delivery through the US equivalent, ie. the United States Postal Service (USPS).

 

My guess is that somewhere they had an address coding error - does your tracking indicate that it traversed the Atlantic at all, or was it bounced locally?

Hey! Thanks for your response though I seemed to have missed it entirely

The Bpost tracking indicated it crossed the atlantic and was then sent back. However Bpost responded to my email saying it was delivered and eventually provided a USPS code to track. USPS confirmed it was delivered.

 

We received the NOA1 finally so everything ended well

Hey Taygi,

 

Sorry for this late reply, I just noticed the notification about your question.

I was actually visiting in the USA at the time of sending my I-130 so I would not have been of any help regarding postal services from Belgium.

 

I'm glad it all went well and you got your NOA1.

Good luck for the remaining of the process and feel free to message me if you have any question.
