which USCIS at apply to?

[steve-phuket 10]

there is a question in the I-130 about where you plane to live when you get the green card. We are actually planning to live in North Carolina but do not have an address there so the only address i have is my son's address in CA. I don't live in USA now, i'm in Thailand with my wife so i'm filing I130 on line.

 

there is a question about which USCIS center to file, can I choose Potomac? i assume that would be the one for NC, an its also faster processing than CA. when she gets the green card, we would prefer to fly to the east cost, not CA

 

thanks

You can’t pick service center, it will be assigned randomly.

so why do they ask you which one?

That question is if your wife is currently in the United States and is intending to adjust status.  It is for the field office that will handle the I-485.  It does not apply to your case.

 

Please read the instructions on the I-130 carefully.  There are items that pertain to you, and items that do not pertain to you.   Fill in the information that fits your situation.

i was filling in the online i130 application and i guess it asks you every question even if not needed for my case.

 

so i guess i'll just leave my answer as CA and they will ignore it

 

thanks

If you see the following question, then leave it completely blank and skip it:

Is she in the United States?  Why would she need to fly to a service center?  Service centers are assigned by USCIS.  For those interviewing for green cards in the United States, your local field office is based on zip code.  No one needs to fly anywhere.
