Beneficiary's address change - during 'initial review'

[M_Kamal 0]

Hello,

My I-130 petition is on initial review in CSC at the time of this post.

The beneficiary, my wife is going to change her address (same country and city, just different house) - most likely before a decision will be made at USCIS and goes to NVC.

Now, should I try to change her address at USCIS stage or wait for NVC and contact them about an address change?

and in both cases, what is the process, especially if I want to do it at USCIS.

Your wife will put her new address on the DS-230, a form that is submitted to the NVC. Right now, you shouldn't need to do anything.

Yes, do not try to make any change and you may accidentally invoke a RFE. Just wait and put the changed address once your I-130 is approved by USCIS. Till NOA2, all communication will be forwarded to the petitioner as such she's not going to miss any information. As "Ryan H" suggested, she can start filling out the future address in all her application with NVC. There is nothing wrong in this and can be explained easily, if asked.

Change of address is not that difficult or complicated....Petitioner can call at anytime and ask for change of address for Both...It better to change your address rather than later....cuz His/Her new address would cause trouble to receive mails as long as you are not request for address change at the local post office in USA...Plus your address will show to his/her tax return or Transcript....Also it will help to prove Domicile.....Hope it helps to ya...Thanks
