release last week that they must now mail the following applications directly to
the Chicago lockbox instead of submitting them to their local District Office: ·

only); ·
Form I-765 (Application for
Employment Authorization); ·
Form I-131 (Application for
Travel Document). The new procedures for
the above listed applications are in compliance with a Federal Register notice published on November 19, 2004, and went
into effect on April 1, 2005. With the exception of the
new filing address, all immigration-filing procedures remain unchanged.

to accelerate the collection of receivables.

process of applications by electronically capturing data and images from these
forms and by performing fee receipting and fee depositing.

must now be sent to one of the following addresses: US Citizenship and Immigration Services P.O. Box 805887 Chicago, IL 60680-4120 Or For non-U.S. Postal
