H-1 Mailing Labels

Mailing labels are a required part of the employment visa application.

You are required to provide a mailing label "to" USCIS. You are strongly encouraged to provide a mailing label to "return" approval notices from USCIS. You should use FedEx which provides drop boxes on the Stanford campus.
