Change of Address for beneficiary prior to NOA2

[TashaK 1]

Hi everyone, my fiance is in the UK and he'll be working in Switzerland for 2 months in the beginning of the new year. His lease is up so he's putting his stuff in storage and living elsewhere when he gets back. Right now it's been about 2 months since our NOA1 so it's likely the NOA2 will come while he's there. Should/Can we change his address on our file now or should be wait until our case gets forwarded to the London embassy and change it with them? We were just going to use his parents' address while he's in Switzerland, and possibly when he gets back even.

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, not sure if this should have gone in K1 process and procedures, mods can you please move if deemed necessary?

I called USCIS when my husband/the beneficiary moved, and they told me to mail in a letter stating the change to the service center that has jurisdiction over my case (in my letter, I made sure to put in the type of petition, case number, and the beneficiary's previous and new address). You should also attach a copy of your NOA. There's an online change of address link on the USCIS website (https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa&localeLang=en) which is referenced in the petition instructions, but I'm not entirely sure if that can be used for the beneficiary/someone who is not in the US. I don't think they actually need the beneficiary's address at this point (but it can't hurt), and regardless I would be sure to confirm that they have the correct address when you get to the NVC stage as well.
