[CIS No. 2273-03]


Direct Mail Program for Submitting Form I-485, Application To 
Register Permanent Resident or Adjust Status; Form I-765, Application 
for Employment Authorization; and Form I-131, Application for Travel 
Document; Correction

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of 
Homeland Security.

ACTION: Notice of correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is 
correcting a notice that was published in the Federal Register on 
November 19, 2004, at 69 FR 67751 which announced the expansion of the 
Direct Mail Program to provide that certain filings of Forms I-485, I-
765, and I-131, be filed at a designated Chicago, Illinois lockbox 
facility for initial processing. In the supplementary information to 
the notice, USCIS inadvertently advised aliens applying for adjustment 
of status as special immigrants under section 101(a)(27)(I) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) (i.e. certain officers and 
employees of international organizations and their eligible family 
members) to submit their Form I-485 to the lockbox facility. 
Accordingly, USCIS is issuing this correction to remove this category 
of aliens from the listing. In addition, the notice directed all aliens 
applying for work authorization through a grant of deferred action (8 
CFR 274a.12(c)(14)) to submit their Forms I-765 to the Chicago lockbox 
facility. The adjudications for Forms I-765 filed by aliens who have 
been granted deferred action based upon (1) an approved Form I-360 (as 
a battered spouse or child of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent 
resident), (2) a pending bona fide application for T nonimmigrant 
status (Form I-914), or (3) U nonimmigrant status interim relief were 
centralized at the Vermont Service Center. Accordingly, the notice is 
being corrected to exempt those three classes of aliens from filing 
their Forms I-765 with the Chicago lockbox facility.

DATES: This correction is effective December 28, 2004.

Manager, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of
