USCIS Address for AOS

[flyover]

Hey there,

dumb question I know but shall I use the address below if I use ''Express Mail by Usps'' ?

''USCIS
Attn: I-130
131 South Dearborn-3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517''

Or this one ?

''USCIS
P.O. Box 804625
Chicago, IL 60680-4107''

This page makes me confused http://www.uscis.gov/i-485-addresses

Use the street address for courier service of Express Mail.

Use the P O Box address for other mail service, including Standard Priority Mail.

My wife sent the AOS package today I printed the address for express delivery (131 south dearborn 3rd floor) but she sent it priority mail not express, what can that cause?

I did exactly the same for a Naturalization package submittal a few years back...used the Express Address for a Priority Envelope. It took nearly two months for USCIS to admit having the package. By then I had stopped payment on the first check and submitted a second package. I had to make up the "stop payment" amount for more than $700 because USCIS had two procedures in place at the same time.

I've since paid close attention t such mundane instructions as which address to use for which classes of mail.

I'm sure your USCIS destination address will straighten the mid-direction out, but I got "religion" from my experience about following instructions.

You had me scared Ray B, I just went on USPS website and did the intercept procedure they will now change the destination to the PO Box address, it was 20 dollars (double what the priority mail cost) just to change it, I rather be safe than sorry. Thank you for the reply I was about to just let it go like that thinking they would deliver it the same way.

We'll never know for sure, but that $20 might be the best fee you will pay throughout this process.
