Confused about I -130 part 5

[sofhi 5]

HI Visa Journey friends if someone can help me with the part 5 question for I-130 that would be really really helpful. I am trying to file my mom i-130 but have filed i-130 for my spouse before too. The question is asking about the city and state where I filed the petition.  I am so confused. I live in New York and I sent the petition to Chicago Uscis post box. So will be the answer I will be putting there, New York or Chicago? Also the filing date is the date I send the form or the date they received it. And do we have to send the photos of mine and my mom too?

Thank You so much for your time and effort. I really appreciate it. 🙏🙏🙏

1. The easy way ( my favorite true and tried method) is to write in” see attached” and include copy of previously filed petitions ..that way all questions are answered..that way date/  decision is covered
 

 

2. Otherwise : WERE =the address on the bottom of the Petition and write the name of the city ( they are really asking what Service Center you filed with ) WHEN =priority date.

 

3. No photos required of u or mom..they are needed for spousal petitions only

Yes ..and most people don’t know/remember or have copies of Petitions they have done 15 years back ( let’s say for a brother or sister)…so putting in “ UKN = unknown is perfectly ok.  That applies to every question pretty much. 
Good Luck
