Hi,

I am starting my paperwork to get my wife's CR1 visa. i have a couple of questions.

1.) I am active duty military, can I list my address as my home of record even though i live on a base 5 hours from there? ( I move around so much it is hard to give a definite address of my home on base.)

2.) My wife and i got married in Tennessee, does her last name change to mine? or is there a special thing we have to do to change it?

3.) What are some common mistakes to watch out for while filing the petition?

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated, Thank you in advance!

1, yes you can but USCIS mail does not get forwarded if you are forwarding your mail for pick ups.

2. her last name is what she wants it to be she can choose to use her married name or not. The visa and green card will be in the name that is on her passport though.

3, one of the most common mistakes - people don't read instructions or follow directions in the instructions or guides.
