USCIS announced last week the changing of filing locations for a series of forms. First, Form I-600, the Petition to Classify Orphan as an Immediate Relative, and Form I-600A, the Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition, should now be sent to the following address:
Regular Mail: USCIS, P.O. Box 299027, Lewisville, TX 75029
Express Mail/Courier Service: USCIS, ATTN: Adoption, 2501 S. State Hwy. 121 Business, Suite 400, Lewisville, TX 75067
This change took place on October 6; however, applicants will have a 30-day transition period before USCIS returns incorrectly filed I-600 and I-600A petitions.
Second, USCIS announced the change in filing location for Form I-800, the Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative, and Form I-800A, the Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child from a Convention Country, both related to the Hague Adoption Convention. The new mailing address for these petitions are:
Regular Mail: USCIS, P.O. Box 299008, Lewisville, TX 75029
Express Mail/Courier Service: USCIS, ATTN: Hague, 2501 S. State Hwy. 121 Business, Suite 400, Lewisville, TX 75067
This change also took place on October 6. As was the case with Form I-600 and I-600A, there will be a 30-day transition period before USCIS returns incorrectly filed I-800 and I-800A petitions.
