Visa expires soon!

[nicefuture 0]

Hi VJ friends,

My fiancee is working in Canada but she is Chinese. When we submitted our K1 application in August, I wrote her address in Canada on I129F. I also chose Vancouver as the interview place. But her working visa will expire in May 2007. After that she will go back to China.

Considering that our incompetent lawyer sent our file to Chicago (wrong place), we don't expect to get NOA2 before my fiancee's visa expires. What shall I do now? Tell the USCIS to change the interview place to China? Or change her address to that of her friends in Canada so that her friends can take care of the mail? Has anybody ever changed address of your foreign fiance(e)? Thank you for your reply.

Our timeline:

August 16: Lawyer sent I129F to Chicago (wrong place)

August 25: NOA1 with receipt number beginning with "MSC", which I think is the National Benefit Center

August 30: Touched

Now: hoping somebody from National Benefit Center can forward our file to the right place

Personally, I would let this thing play out for a while. You have 8 months before the Visa expires in May 07.

I would be really surprised if you had to wait that long.

So, you have not been able to track down your petition yet?

Think long and hard about the consequences of moving an interview to China. You'll be adding several months onto the process.

Why don't you re-file to the correct service center, at your lawyer's expense for the fees?
