Filed I130 Ifrom abroad with US address

[dreamwarrior 0]

I filed my I130 from abroad listing my US address. My parents in the US just received my NOA1. Now I was wondering what is going to happen once my papers get to NVC. Will my parents have to forward what they receive from NVC to me? My parents can take care of the bills for me there so that's not a problem. But can the forms that NVC sends be printed out from online so that I can send them in from here?

My understanding is that all communication between NVC, the petitioner and the beneficiary will be done electronically.

For example, I currently live abroad temporarily but listed my permanent US mailing address on USCIS forms.

I received my NOA1 and NOA2 at this address and have received other notifications from NVC via email.

If you give over the petitioner and beneficiary's email addresses to a NVC operator after getting a case number assigned, then NVC will send all correspondence by email. You'll still have to snail mail your packages to NVC though. But the forms can be downloaded ahead of time and filled out, so you're prepared for the NVC stage.

We did the same thing last summer. Some of the docs from USCIS arrived at our US address. Family back in US just scanned them to pdf and emailed them to us.

By the time the approved I-130 was forwarded to NVC, we opted for electronic processing by email with NVC.

From that point forward, it was all electronic by email and we never had to deal with the the postal service delivery again. We concluded the process while outside the US.

The only thing they won't do in this process is send SMS (text message) notifications to a non-US cellphone.

We had to specify a US cellphone number to receive the notifications that way.
