The USCIS has slowly transitioned the filing of petitions and applications from service centers to lockbox facilities. Centralizing the filings they said would allow them to provide more efficient and effective initial application, petition, and free processing.
An I-140 filed by itself or together with and I-485 should now be filed at either the Dallas Lockbox facility, or at the Nebraska, or Texas Service Centers, depending on the classification. Skilled worker I-140s and I-140s accompanied by an I-907 premium processing request should be filed at either the Nebraska or Texas Service Centers. All other I-140 petitions should be filed at the Dallas Lockbox facility.
If Service Centers receive an I-140 that should’ve gone to Dallas, they will forward the form to Dallas for 45 days until Sept. 17, 2010. After September 17, 2010, they will be returned to the petitioner as improperly filed.
