I am working on filling out the I-864 and had a question about section 2 for the principal immigrant.  My wife lives in Uganda and they don't receive mail directly to their houses there like we do here in the US.  What address should I put in the "
Mailing Address" section since daily mail service isn't general a service Ugandans have.

 

Thanks

They don't receive postal items in Uganda (or most Ugandan's don't).   Perhaps business's do, but the vast majority of private citizens don't receive mail.   If I send her anything I sent it DHL and she picks it up at the DHL office.

I would use that address as her mailing address.

Does the NVC send her things during this process directly?   If so, I suspect this could be problematic since I doubt DHL is just going to accept private citizen mail without going through their service

No.......email is used.

The only thing my received, other than email,  was her passport with visa inside.....by courier.

It seems immigrant visas for Uganda are processed in Kenya, so it’s highly unlikely they would send any mail or courier to her address.
