Your address on the form
Most of Houston is in Harris County, but some parts are in Fort Bend or Montgomery. Check your county.
Many addresses that say “Houston” are outside the city, in parts of Harris County. Copy the city from your mail.
Pasadena, Pearland and Sugar Land are separate cities. If you live there, that is your city, not Houston.
USCIS mails you at the address you write down. Check it before you sign.

Find my office on uscis.gov ↗Your fingerprint appointment
For your fingerprints and photo, USCIS books you at an Application Support Center (ASC). The notice says which one, the day and the time.
Application Support Centers on uscis.gov ↗Texas certificates
If you were born in Texas, the state holds your birth certificate. The official page tells you where to request each kind of record.
How to request a Texas certificate ↗Watch out for notario fraud
In Texas, a notary public is not a lawyer. A notary cannot give you immigration legal advice.
If someone who is not a lawyer or an accredited representative charged you for legal advice, you can report it to the state.
If your question needs a lawyer
We do not give legal advice and we do not decide your case. We tell you where to look for a licensed attorney or an accredited representative.
