What can I do if I sent my EB-5 application to the wrong lockbox location?

I heard that the USCIS is adding new lockbox locations and changing some old ones. On Oct. 15, they apparently adjusted the filing locations for some applications. I didn”t know about this so I sent my adjustment of status application to the Dallas lockbox instead of the new in Phoenix. What happens with my EB-5 application now? How can I get it to the right place?

It will most likely get rejected, so if you do not get a receipt in the next 30-60 days, you can expect it will be returned. Sometimes they are nice and forward but not often.

If they cannot get it to the right place, they will send it back with a "rejection" notice, forms, evidence, filing fees and all, with instructions on how to re-submit.

Check with the courier and see if it has been delivered. Typically right after a Lockbox change they will re-route for you. You can email Lockbox Support to check on your case.
