Murali Bashyam

U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) published a Federal Register notice on April 28, 2009 that changed the filing location and filing instructions for the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90).  The revised filing instructions require applicants to submit supporting documentation with their applications.  Prior to this change, applicants were instructed to bring their supporting documentation to their biometrics appointments.  The notice also revises the Direct Mail address for the Form I-90.  Applicants must now file their Form I-90 and supporting documentation with the USCIS Lockbox facility in Phoenix.

This change in filing location affects all I-90 applicants filing a paper form, including those applicants filing the I-90 because their previously issued card was never received or because their existing card has incorrect data due to a USCIS error.  This notice does not affect applicants filing an I-90 electronically or whose place of residence is outside the United States.

Beginning on April 27, 2009, applicants must submit their Form I-90 and supporting documentation to the USCIS Lockbox facility in Phoenix for initial processing, using the following addresses:
