make sure I am correct about NVC and question about Bene address change

[Turbo SS 6]

Ok so I got my NOA2 last week. Based on what I have been reading here, the NVC will send me a letter (including the I-34) saying they received my packet next correct?

Then (hopefully) soon afterwards they will send the packet to China?

Then the embassy mails packet 3 to my fiance correct?

My fiance has changed her address since we mailed in the NOA1. I heard some bad stories about trying to change fiances address with the NVC and for some reason it doesnt get changed. I heard its better to change her address with the consulars office in China. But how will I know I can call the embassy to change her address? I dont want them to get the application and turn around and mail out packet 3 to her without me having a chance to change her address.

So what I assume I should do then is get the DHL tracking number and when I see its delivered to China, call them up and have my fiances address changed?

Thanks alot guys!

I wouldn't wait for letter from NVC, you should call them. Soon after that you should check with the consulate. Yes you or your fiance should call and/or email the embassy when your case is over there and inform them of the address change. Good luck!

Suggest you make up a new 'calling pattern' using the telephone.

READ ALL OF THIS -> http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/264972-shortcuts-when-checking-for-updates-from-the-nvc-and-dos/ including my bits

then wrap yer head around this -> http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/GUZ_P3_Shortcut and note that when submitting 'self generated P3 documents' you include 'ADDRESS CHANGE' verbiage in red letters on the envelope, a coverletter, and the forms themselves. RED LETTERS la.

So in the cover letter do you provide the new address?

[Darnell 8,478]

yup

We called NVC today and changed my address - I wasnt intended to make it complicated but since my apartment in Shanghai got burnt down after we submitted our I-129f, I dont have other choice but change the add.

Thanks for your suggestion Darnell, but GUZ didnt require a cover letter for P3? If we just make up one, I guess it doesnt hurt? RED LETTERS, good suggestion, will do la!

[Turbo SS 6]

Wow so apparently the NVC gave me the wrong case number. When I called the DOS the lady told me my case number was off by 3-4 digits. So I got the real case number now and packet 3 was sent to my girl today.

Unfortunately we havent been able to update her new address because we had the wrong case number and the consulate said they had no received it ugh. Anyway, she made up her on packet 3 and will send it in along with an address update. Hopefully it gets resolved.

[Turbo SS 6]

Oh and one more thing. Should I go ahead and get the financial stuff ready and send it to her or wait until she gets packet 4? I forgot.

[Darnell 8,478]

If she uses the P3 shortcut, no need to 'wait on GUZ IV' except the 'P3 sent' tag from DoS Hotline.

then

ya, that packet 4 contains the appointment letter, so try to have the I-134 ready NO LATER than interview day, la.
