Beneficiary country/address change.

[musyas 0]

I had applied immigration (I 130) for my sister. It took several years

and I recently got approval notice from USCIS that application has

been approved and case forwarded to NVC. My sister (beneficiary)

moved to a different country after I had filed for her immigration. So

her current address/country of residence is different from what was

specified on I 130. Who all do I need to notify about change of

address/country of beneficiary and how? Does this have any

implications for priority dates ? She has never been in the US.

Her PD is Oct 2004 which is not current yet (oct 2009). Does this mean

NVC will hold off any action such as sending DS-3032 form until PD becomes current?

Thanks very much.

You need to update your sister's address with the NVC which is where her case is currently. Google "contact NVC address change" to find out how to do it.

When country is mentioned in the Visa Bulletin for current PD, it is the country the beneficiary was born it. If your sister in born in country X, then for the PD country, she is still Country X even if she moves to Country A.

The DS-3020 will not come for many years. It will be sent out about 6 months before your sister's PD is about to become current.
