Where to file

Hey there - I'm getting a little confused about where to file all these forms. I live in California and have a list of local USCIS offices, but was under the impression the whole lot - my forms and my wife's forms, along with all the documentation - go to the PO Box 805887 address in Chicago. However, I've just finished helping my wife with the 'I-130, Petition for Alien Relative' form, and under the instructions it says 'If you reside in the United States, file this form at the USCIS Service Center having jurisdiction over your place of
residence.' However, it also says 'If the Form I-130 petition is being filed concurrently with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence
or Adjust Status, submit both forms at the local USCIS office
having jurisdiction over the place where the Form I-485 applicant resides.' It is being filed with Form I-485, but where do I send it? Very confused. Thanks in advance for any light shed on this - Best, Tony
PS: My wife is a USC, and I've been living in the US for a number of years on an I Visa. We both still live together in California.

You should send all forms to the chicago lock box. Read the first post of this thread to get you started.
