About this document

USCIS reference page for Form I-140 direct filing addresses, updated November 2023. It gives the mailing location to use when filing Form I-140 together with Form I-907 for premium processing, grouped by the applicant's intended work state or territory and separated by USPS versus courier delivery. It also points readers to other accordions for I-140 filed with I-485 and for upgrading a pending I-140.

Key points

  • Covers only Form I-140 filed together with Form I-907 for premium processing.
  • Says to use a different accordion if Form I-485 or other forms are also filed.
  • Lists a Phoenix Lockbox mailing address for one group of states and territories.
  • Separates USPS mail from FedEx, UPS, and DHL delivery addresses for Phoenix.
  • Lists an Elgin Lockbox mailing address for another group of states and territories.
  • Separates USPS mail from FedEx, UPS, and DHL delivery addresses for Elgin.
  • Groups filing locations by where the applicant will work, not by the applicant's location.

When it helps

Serves as filing-instructions evidence for an I-140 package, showing the correct USCIS lockbox address depends on the applicant's work location and whether premium processing is included. It is relevant to the mailing step rather than the merits of an EB-1A or EB-2 NIW case.
