What address to use?

[G-Unit 0]

I am going to be filling for a K-1 in about a month and was wondering what address I need to use as my home address. I am a US citizen currently working temporarily overseas for a US based company. I still have my house in the US, but I am paying taxes to two countries right now. My address in the US is forwarded by the post office to a PO Box and from the PO Box my mail is sent via UPS to me overseas once a week. I will remain overseas for the next six months or so and its not the same country as my fiance.

Should I use my US address and let the mail get forwarded, use my overseas address, or us my parent's address to avoid any issues with mail being returned because the post office decides not to forward UCIS mail for some reason. Also, are there any concerns of using an address for my mailing address that is not actually where I live and does any one see any issues of including my overseas address on list of locations lived in past five years?

I saw similar posts, but nothing exactly like this so I hope I can get some clarification.

Thanks

You will not be applying for a K-1, that comes later. You will be petitioning for your alien fiance(e) to determine her eligibility to apply for a K-1 visa at a later date via her countries consulate.

It seems less problematic when the petitioner indicates a US based domicile.

A word of caution, USCIS marks most mail "Return service requested" this prevents the post office from forwarding things like NOA2 letter which you will need later when adjusting status.

You may want to use an address that has someone living there to receive it for you like a parent or sibling. On the G-325A you will put your actual residence, but on form I-129F you will use a mailing address that does not have a forwarding order in place.

Thanks for the very quick answers. I will use my parents address on the I-129f and put my overseas address on G-325A.

I am about to apply now and will only be having my mail forwarded for two more months and then I will be living back in the US. Is there any reason not to use the US address for my mailing address on the I-129F as the NOA 2 would not come until after I turn off the forwarding? Do they mail the NOA 1 to you and would that cause any issues with mail forwarding on? I would prefer to only use my main address in the US if at all possible, so the only concern I guess would be mail coming within 2 months of me mailing my packet out.

I would strongly advise using your parents address or some other US address that will be stable throughout the whole process. They do mail the NOA1 to you and it is possible that the fact you are having that mail forwarded could cause a problem. DEFINITELY do not use an overseas address. I had headache after headache trying to get my address changed from an overseas to a domestic one after the NOA1.

One thing you will have to be sure of if you use your parents address though is that the local post office has your name as one of the residents at your folks address, otherwise the letter may not be delivered since the post office is particular about government documents. Your parents can go to the post office and request that you be added and the change will be made right away.

So the only place I need to put my parents address then is on the I-129F form at the top of part A? All other addreses for the G-325A and question 14 on I-129F would be my US residence that I will move back to in two months? My only concern was having two different addresses on the I-129F and G-325A might look suspicious for some reason.

One last question is on the G325-A when asked about last 5 years of residences. Since I still own my house and pay taxes in the US and am only overseas for a temporary work assignment, should I inlcude my overseas address also? It is less than a year, so I know it does not need to go into the secon on last address outside of the US of more than a year.
