Did you try the instructions to the form? It would be the Chicago lockbox address.

I do not think New Yorkers are supposed to send theirs to Chicago. I think it is supposed to be sent to Missouri. I received the wrong information on the phone and was told to send it to Vermont. My application did end up gettign forwarded to Missouri, but I know sometimes they are not so gracious. Find out from USCIS. I'd ask right at Federal Plaza is you can make it there. If you can;t do that, I would recommend sending it to the Missouri Office if I were you.

Hi,

Are you just applying for I-485?

What about I-765 and I-131?Do you need employment authorization card or advince parole (traveling document)?

Anyway,what I sent with I-485 is:

1)copy of birth certificate follow by english translation!

2)copy of passport page with nonimmigrant visa

3)2 photos (i put in plastic bag, and attached to white paper)

4) I needed also I-693 (medical examinationa), but if you are K-1, and if you had medical examination within past year then you need to submit only vaccination supplement I-693A, you can download it from uscis.gov if you don't have one.What you have to do is find local surgeon in your area!!!

5)You also need to submit form G-325A (dowload it from uscis.gov it is biographic information sheet)

6)Submit a copy of your I-94, nonimmigrant arrival/departure record

7)You also need to submit I-864 (Affidavit of Support) follow by supporting documents

I just wanna remind you that you should apply at the same time for I-765 and I-131 with also supporting documents (if you didn't know this) because everything is going in same envelope!!!

If you need something just ask!

Alien number usually started with A letter in front and it is looks like A123456789 , i didn't have one since I was on another visa, but check you maybe have one on your I-94, or in passeport I am not sure, maybe some else can help about this!!

Good luck!!!
