DS-230 Address, can it change?

[Ricardo_C 4]

Hello everyone, I hope you're enjoying the holidays

My interview is scheduled for January 12th (as you can imagine, I'm very very excited but also very very nervous!). I have a couple questions I was hoping you could help me with:

My wife is sponsoring me for a CR-1 visa, with my father in law acting as a "household member" sponsor (he filed an I-864A in addition to my wife's I-864). In my DS-230 form, I included their address as my intended residence, since my wife lives with her parents, and our plan is to stay there till I'm settled at work and can afford a place of our own.

However, in the time since we filed the support paperwork, her salary has improved thanks to more hours at work, and she's now in a position to afford an apartment on her own. She's found a gorgeous one just down the road from her parents', and would very much like to take it. It's a loft-style apartment downtown, her dream kind of place But would this be a problem, given that I gave her parents' address as my intended address in the US? And does the fact that her dad signed up as a household member sponsor prevent us from moving?

Sorry if the questions are silly, we're just really nervous about getting it right

Thanks in advance.

There is a process to change your address, sure, you betcha.

BUT.

Since the FIL isn't planning to move, anytime soon, I strongly suggest you DO NOT CHANGE IT.

Once you go through a POE, the card production is ordered, and then sent out to 'that' address.

IMO, to get it changed NOW, will be troublesome.

I suggest you change it AFTER you have green card in hand, picked up from FIL's house.

RE: Affadavit of Support Documents -

They were accepted during NVC processing, but will not be evaluated until (or a few days before) the INTERVIEW Day at the Consulate. Basically, she'd need to prepare an entirely new I-864 package, to show new domicile, new income, etc etc. I suggest not to do that, for now. I'm not suggesting to lie, but ...

GOOD LUCK.

Thanks, Darnell!

The move wouldn't happen until after my arrival, no problem there I was just worried about being allowed to move once in the US
