Change of Address

[LorRenee 6]

We've just put our NOA1 in, however I'm currently living at home (with my parents) and I'm planning on moving into my own apartment a month before he is due to enter the country once we are approved. It appears we will both have to change our addresses. Mine for the permanent address and his being the address he will be moving to (correct?).

If he puts down my current permanent address for where he "intends" to live, but resides in the apartment, will that be an issue?

We're both trying to figure out which way would be the most hassle free way, and what's involved in a change of address in general.

Thanks!

I don't think it will be a problem. You'll still be living with your parents if you get an RFE on the petition, when your petition approval notice arrives in the mail, as well as when NVC sends you mail that the petition has been sent to London. That's about all you'll receive.

At that point it will still be several months before he gets a visa in London. He will just use your parent's address on his paperwork. If by chance you move between then an his interview, he could inform them at the interview that you got an apartment last week and the new address. Nothing is mailed to him at the address he puts so he won't be missing something important.

Then comes his entry to the US. He lists on the I-94 where he will be staying, so another opportunity to give the latest address.

Then he files for Adjustment of Status. It's like starting over so he puts the address where he is living at that time. You don't have to worry that his first K1 papers had you parents' address. Anytime you move after that point, you both inform the USCIS within 10 days. He fills out form AR-11 and you (and any joint sponsor) fills out I-865. Sponsors on the Affidavit of Support (I-864) are required to keep their address current with USCIS.

Great, looks like we will be adjusting the moment the visa is approved so POE will get the latest address and they will be informed during the interview that as soon as we're approved, she's going to go ahead and plonk down on a new apartment.
