Where do you Send Form I-130?

Last Updated: June 6, 2025.

‍

Once you have filled out Form I-130 and gathered all supporting documentation, you’re ready to send it in to USCIS! But where you send the form is different depending on where you live and whether or not you are filing Form I-130 with any other forms.

‍

Please be aware that USCIS updates this information frequently, so be sure to check the USCIS Form I-130 Direct Filing Address page for the most up-to-date mailing information. If you are filing Form I-130 concurrently (at the same time) as Form I-485, please defer to the USCIS Form I-485 Direct Filing Address page instead.
