Hi all,

My fiancé used my current address on all his K-1 visa forms, including the forms for the interview, as to where he will arrive and live in the U.S.

However, we are planning to move to a new apartment literally the day or so after he arrives to the U.S. I found a good deal on a bigger place and it makes sense to move right away.

Will this cause any conflict for us? I understand we will need to file AR-11 immediately, correct? Will we list him as a K-1 applicant? We will be filing AOS within a week or two after he arrives - should we just wait until filing AOS and use the new address on the AOS forms? Or must we change address ASAP thru AR-11. Will we put that he "currently has a case pending" although we won't have done AOS quite yet but will within a few days?

Technically you don't need to file the AR-11 yet. If you're planning on filing AOS soon after moving then just write the new address on the AOS forms. You will be fine that way.

Yeah I'm sure. Many people do it this way. It's like you're a visitor until you actually start the process. I wouldn't leave it too long.. as in if you're not planning on filing for a while then I would just to "be safe" but if you're filing ASAP then no issue.
