I-129F Mistake

[SteveK 0]

Ok, I'm an idiot. I just realized that we made a mistake on our I-129F. My street address is different than my mailing address (I'm the foreign beneficiary) and I listed the street address.

I had convinced myself somehow that all the packets would be sent to the embassy and nothing would be sent to me directly (don't know how I came to this conclusion in hindsight but that's not the point now). Is there anything I can do at this point or am I totally up the creek here?

Has your fiance received the NOA-2 yet approving the I-129f? I think the easiest thing to do would be to wait until that is approved and forwarded to the Consulate in Montreal - then notify the Consulate of the changed mailing address. You would have a case number by that time that you could use to match the file and the information.

I appreciate the input, thank you. We just received out NOA-1 in the mail today. Our case should be handled through Vancouver rather than Montreal but I'll be certain to contact them as soon as I have a case number.

Thanks again for the info.

Some embassies (at least my fiancee's does) prefer you to pick up Packet III in person. The address system is so messed up in Costa Rica that they don't want to chance it by sending anything. If they don't have the beneficiary's phone number, can't get in touch with the beneficiary, they will send it by mail, as a last resort.

Maybe you can arrange to pick up the packet. Once you know it left the NVC, you may want to contact the embassy and explain the situation and see if they will let you do that. I don't know if doing an address change would delay your case.

Your so early in the game, call CSC and tell them you have an address change to make and that's it. Don't tell them you made a mistake. People move or change addresses all the time during the process and CSC is easy to get hold of a live operator to have the offical change made to your application. Maybe you will get lucky and your file will be put at the top of the box awaiting approval.
