Where To File An Adjustment of Status Application

Where should I File an Adjustment of Status Application?

1. For family-based immigration petitions (Form I-130), the application for adjustment of status should be filed with the USCIS Chicago Family Based Immigration Processing Center (USCIS, P.O. Box 804625, Chicago, IL 60680-4107).

2. For employment-based immigration petitions with a pending or approved Form I-140, the application for adjustment of status should be filed with either the Phoenix (USCIS, P.O. Box 21281, Phoenix, AZ 85036) or Dallas (USCIS, PO Box 660867, Dallas, TX 75266) Lockbox depending on the geographical location of the applicant.
