We are still waiting for NOA2 and my husband the USC plans to visit me here in the Philippines for about a couple of months or more. But what if we receive some RFE's can we submit the requested documents to USCIS using Philippines'address as the return address? Same with AOS and DS-230 requirements? Would that be a problem? Thanks

Unfortunately USCIS does send RFEs by email. And USPS doesn't forward the letter abroad. Do your husband have someone in US that can receive his mail and forward to you guys in Phillippines' address!

NVC is fine, they send all the correspondence through email. So once you get your approval, you can manage the NVC process through email and pay fees online and mail the documents from Phillippines.

You may be looking for some answer regarding givving your temporary address to USCIS for sending their RFEs, if any. I hope someone with such experience with USCIS will respond.

Yes, there are definitely be someone who can forward an RFE letter to us if ever (but crossing my fingers not to hehe), my issue is if the USCIS accepts documents coming from a Philippines' address instead of a US address...

You can send a letter from anywhere in the world if you like

In case you receive an RFE you have to include the blue letter that comes with the RFE with your response

The more you delay your responses to RFE the more you will wait for your approval

Yes, USCIS accepts letter and are not bothered about where those are posted from - that should not be an issue at all.
