My fiance is working in Dubai and living in company provided accommodations. From what I can gather, any mail directed to that address is forwarded to the company. So she insists she has no address. I mean, I have seen the location, so it's not like she's deceiving me. It seems the company controls everything -they even hold the employees passports (she's Philippine citizen). So what do I put on the forms for her current residence address? Also, do I tell her to get a PO box if they have such thing there? Should I use that on the forms? Can I list a residence address and an alternative address for mailing only? Any suggestions? Thank you!

You can have a mailing, did not do us much good. Po box or PMB, if you can. Sounds like they almost have her hostage, i.e. very restricted..

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Thanks for the link. I will tell her to do that.

But where the forms ask for address of residence, I suppose I need to include some actual home address? Will it get rejected if I put a PO box number on the forms?

That is normal in Dubai. The employer holds the passport of all their employees as I worked there for 3years. Good to her that their company is providing her accommodation. You can use the P.O. Box or you can use her accommodation's address. Based on my experience, I didn't receive any mails from USCIS, so nothing to worry about. I even changed my accommodation many times when the petition was on going. I never had any problem coz in Dubai you can change your accommodation anytime.

Thanks for your reply. You never received any mail? I thought they had to send you some kind of information requests and information on your interview? Also, how did your fiance forward to you the information? Which address you used on the application, G-325A, etc.

I NEVER received any mail. The US Embassy Abu Dhabi will send the packet 3 and 4 to the petitioner through email ONLY. I used my accommodation address to the form G-325A (example: Mohammed Bldg. Apt. 205, Al Muteena Rd, Dubai, UAE). The petitioner can forward to the beneficiary via email too. The beneficiary can print out the email (interview schedule and USCIS approved Physician)and bring a copy during the medical and interview.

If USCIS needs any information, they will send a letter address to the petitioner.

Did your fiance scan the whole I-129F file and email to you? Your fiance didn't need to mail you any original documents, or signed documents, even? I thought originals were needed for the visa application or to bring to the interview?

Thanks again!

Actually, what we did was I was in charged of gathering all the documents, filling up the forms and after that I mailed to him two sets of all the documents and signed form through Dubai Post Office for him to review and affix his signature. I paid AED280 ($80). He gave me all the information I needed through email. He sent me some documents (for the interview) through USPS priority mail where I picked it up in Karama (Dubai) Post Office. You can do the same. Dubai's Post Office will call your fiancee to pick up the mail. Make sure you will give her the reference number.

Thanks again! That's helpful. I have been in Karama, by the way.
