If your 485 is pending in TSC, its mean c(9) case, pending 485 in that center. and u will use the following address.



US CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES
USCIS/TSC
P.O.BOX 851041
MESQUITE, TEXAS 75185-1041


I have same c(9) case, I filled renewal there and waitng for EAD.


Good Luck

Ya, I totally agree with you...now how would u determine where to send ... yes my I-485 is pending at the adress u mentioned. then What is the address :
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P. O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120
is this adress is wrong to send the application?

Thanks
 
:) :) :) What the message says at the beginning of the I-765 form IT IS FOR FAMILY BASED APPLICATIONS THAT YOU SEND THE EAD TO THE CHICAGO ADDRESS.It says C-9 (CFR 8 274.a.12) Aliens filing a family based application for adjustment of status who are presently required to file with the USCIS local office having jurisdiction over their place of residence

If you are adjustment of status and Employment based (I think most of us in these forums) you send the forms to where your I-485 is pending

This is from Murthy.com
Effective as of December 1, 2004, the filing location for certain family-based cases will change for many I-485 (Application for Adjustment of Status), I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), and I-131 (Application for Travel Document) cases. The change, announced on November 19, 2004, has a two-step phase-in. The first phase begins on December 1, 2004; the second, on April 1, 2005.

This change primarily affects family-based cases; not employment-based cases.WHICH I-485s ARE COVERED?

Family-Based Cases
As stated above, the category most affected is certain family-based I-485s. Neither the labor certification-based I-485s, nor the employment-based special category cases (National Interest Waiver, Extraordinary Ability, Multinational Executive Transferee, and Outstanding Professor / Researcher) are part of this program.
Many MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers have these types of cases.


The changed procedure affects immediate relatives who are filing their I-485s based upon approved, pending, or concurrent I-130 filings. It also includes family-based I-485s for family-preference relatives with approved I-130s and current priority dates, as well as their eligible derivative family members.

Residents of the states listed who are seeking to adjust status to permanent residence after entry as fiancées (including both K-1s and K-3s), as well as the qualifying minor children of such individuals, must file in Chicago as of the dates indicated in the two phase-in programs. The new location must also be used by battered spouses / children filing I-485s based on approved Form I-360s.

Lottery Winners

Another significant category of persons subject to the new procedures is that of visa lottery applicants. It is particularly important for these people to file accurately and at the correct location, as their cases are time-sensitive. Incorrect filings can lead to delays, which may, in turn, mean that such cases will not be approved before the annual September 30th deadline. It should be noted that the Chicago address is used ONLY for the I-485s of the visa lottery winners. It is NOT the address for initial visa lottery applications. As our regular readers are aware, we are currently in the period for filing visa lottery applications.

Miscellaneous Cases

There are a number of miscellaneous categories of I-485 cases that must be filed in Chicago. Some of these are relatively unusual, while others may be more common in particular regions. It is required that filings for these cases also be made in Chicago: Cuban Adjustment Act cases; Registry cases (for persons continuously present since January 1, 1972); beneficiaries of private bills; certain special immigrant categories; certain AmerAsians; specified Polish / Hungarian nationals previously denied refugee status; and qualified Soviet / IndoChinese refugees.

WHICH I-765s SHOULD FILE AT CHICAGO?

The I-765 Application for Employment Authorization for specific, listed categories will need to be filed in Chicago, as well. These include many family-based cases, removal-related cases, and some miscellaneous cases.

Persons filing their I-485s based upon family petitions, who are now required to file with USCIS local offices, will file their I-765s in Chicago from the effective dates indicated above.

Chicago will be the appropriate filing location for I-765s for persons who have been granted withholding of removal, those granted suspension of deportation, persons under orders of supervision following removal, certain detained foreign nationals who are paroled in for emergency / public interest reasons, persons given deferred action, and persons filing under the registry provisions.

WHICH I-131s SHOULD FILE AT CHICAGO?

Eligible persons filing Applications for Travel Documents (I-131s) requesting Advance Parole, who fit the criteria listed for the I-485/I-765 filings described above, must file in Chicago.

ADDRESS FOR FILING

The affected I-485s, I-765s, and I-131s must now be sent either to :

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, Illinois 60680

or, for deliveries that cannot be made to post office boxes :

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
427 S. La Salle, 3rd Floor
Chicago, Illinois 60605-1098

Also where your I-485 is pending but it is at a different Box number. Look at the filing form itself for AP it will tell you which box is the correct one. :)

Thanks grunggy,
One final question. I just mailed my EAD documents via USPS priority mail with confirmation (some one at USCIS need to sign for the receipt of my documents) Do you think It will be a problem, I mean it should rather be a normal mail than confirmation attached to it. Some of my friends told me USCIS donot sign or accept application document that requires the signature at delivery.
Thanks

Thanks POJ for your suggestions. I was very confident :rolleyes: before my lawer screwed up my I-140, I got RFE for both: employers ability to pay and Education qualifications :( though I am more qualified than what is needed in my labor and My company is doing extreemly well business. Now he is asking huge money for filing my EAD and AP. so I am filing this at my own with the help of all you gurus :)
Thanks again.,
 
:D All I meant was, noone is perfect,

Many of us (including me :D ) have bad exp with attorneies, they always keep u in dark, once u sign-in, Once they got what u owed them, they change attitude(not all but few small attornies), careless typo are commin in pettitions, when u go and ask questions u have appointment issues with them, and they don't hesitate to show how greedy they are (not all). they share scary scenarios with u, show u how doors are tightly shutdowned and you no way to go but they would try to find :D ,,,,, it cost extra :D :D ..... when u say plz plz.... they smile..... and never miss opertunity to make ur wallet light. :D unless u know the way out.

But sometime dealing with big attorney services may expensive and not in ur favor too. dealing with small att sometime difficult but in many cases $$ helps fine to crack them and avoid many things :D . but some attorney croos the greed limt. no dought

This is the country you can buy anything u like. :D what would u like to buy?

keep all copies to u whatever ur pettitions u have or they filled on belalf of u, this would help u at time of renewal docs, and having all copies of ur all pettitions/doc would make ur life easy if needed in future.


And don't just believe whatever ur Att says, always keep ur research too and verify.

Good Luck

I sent my wife's EAD application to Chicago address and I presume I sent it to wrong address. I should have sent it to TSC. They even sent us the Receipt notice.
How can I correct this error ?
