         1. Attach a check payable to USCIS-Texas Service Center or USCIS Nebraska
            Service Center (see below for more on which center to send it to) for $170.00 to
            the middle left side of page one of your application.
         2. Attach two photos (click here to see sample of required photos) in a small
            envelope to the lower left corner of page 1 of the form. Make sure to write your
            name in pencil on the back and include your A# if you have one.
         3. Behind the I-131 attach the following:
                o copy of your I-485 receipt notice if you have one
                o copy of the ID page from your passport that shows your photo
                o copy of your I-94 card
                o copy of any previous advanced parole forms issued to you by USCIS

         How and where do I mail my application?

         USCIS recently changed procedures on where applications should be submitted. As
         of April 1, 2006 all permanent residency applications including I-140 and I-485 are to
         be submitted to the Nebraska Service Center (NSC). If you filed your application
         before April 1, 2006 with the Texas Service Center (TSC) you will continue to apply
         to the TSC for your Advanced Parole. If you filed your applications with Nebraska
         after April 1, 2006 you should send your requests for advanced parole to the
         Nebraska Service Center (NSC).

                  USCIS Nebraska Service Center        Texas Service Center
