USCIS Updates Filing Location of Concurrent I-140/I-485 Applications
USCIS confirmed that all I-140 petitions filed concurrently with an I-485 application for adjustment of status are to be filed with the Dallas Lockbox, unless the I-140 is accompanied by a request for premium processing, Form I-907. Concurrently filed applications that include a Form I-907 attached to the I-140 should be filed with the NSC or TSC, depending on the location of the petitioner.
