[*Giuly and Rocky* 0]

Hello everybody! This is my first post in this website!! ))

Me and my fiance are ready to submit for K1 Visa at the end of the month...we only have 1 question and need your help! He's currently deployed in Iraq (untill September) and he has 1 friend back in the USA that check his private mail almost everyday...Now the question comes about question C1 on form 129F...can we write N/A since he'll be back soon to the States or do u think it can cause some problems? Thank you!!!!!!

Hi! My fiance is in the Military too Welcome to VJ!

I think your fiance should use his APO address instead of his address in the U.S.

On question C. 1 you should put an approximate date. The question says "I plan to return on or about" so it can be an estimate, it does not need to be an exact date. Even when they are deployed, they usually have estimate date to come back home.

Welcome!

I'd put his APO or FPO address. If you want mail sent some place else, attach a piece of paper and explain. We used our home of record address for anything important while in the military, as it always remained the same and family was looking out for us. We considered it our "legal" address.

Thanks to your fiance for serving!

My fiance is serving in Bahrain at the moment. We put his APO address in the first box, what goes in the one next to it?

Perhaps the zip code? I wouldn't stress about it. I just took a look at it and it looks like poor design of the form.

I'm U.S. military also. I'm in Iraq also. I filed I-129f in June. I called USCIS and explained my situation. My home station is in New Mexico. but before I deployed i stopped my lease on my apartment, so I have no home address really. I was told to put an address with someone I trust that would receive my mail. I put my Mothers address in TN. All my mail goes there now, and she will foward me mail when I need it. When I return in to New Mexico and get another apartment, I will submit a change of address form. The USCIS lady told me to type a paper explaining my situation. I wrote a letter with the I-129F telling them I was in Iraq and the address is my mothers and I will submit a new address when I return. They said everything was fine. Tell your Fiance to write a letter explaining his situation and you should have no worries!

Good luck

One last thing then...when they ask you your last residence for the last 5 years on form G325 (or your current address on Form 129 F) did you put your last address in the States or you address down range? Mmm...confusing!!! =D

I put my last residence for the past 5 years, I was in the U.S. then I was stationed in Japan, and now I'm back in the U.S.

He does not have to put his deployed location address on the form. it is Temporary (TDY) address and there is no need for it. Use his address in the U.S. or like I stated above...whatever address his mail goes too. be sure to have him sign and date the letter he writes explaining his situation. Good luck

thank you for your post...I can't see where the ask "I plan to return on or about" thou...I just see that they ask about the address...

I know we put Kuwait/Iraq FPO address in the residence history and they accepted the petitions, so I kind of think it's not going to matter that much.

The continuation sheet or the brief letter of explanation should do the trick.
