Change of address while in process

[JS&JF 0]

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are right now in the starting stages of this looooong process, and I have some concerns.. He is right now looking for a new house, so I wonder, will it effect the approval of our I-129f petition if his address changes while the petition is being processed? Can he somehow notify the USCIS of his change of address so that that can be updated in our file? In the I-129f petition he is asked to fill in my social security number. Abviously I'm not a usc yet, so I don't have a ssn. Now, should he leave that box blank or do I somehow have to get a ssn? If so how is that done?

Really hoping you guys know the answers!

Thank you!

Write "NONE" in space as currently you do not have one. FYI: as a LPR you will need to get a SSN; it is not just for USC. You should avoid leaving any question blank. In the instructions it states you should use "NONE" or "N/A" for a response instead of leaving it blank.

The address will not affect the petition accept for receiving the NOA2 when the petitionis approved. The UCIS will not allow the USPS to forward mail, so it would be best if he could contiune to get mail at the old address until he has the NOA2 in his hands. Change of address with the USCIS is hit or miss, but he can notify the USCIS of an address change.

Good luck,

Dave

Thank you so much for your answer! Big help

So if I understood you right, I do not need a ssn until arriving in the states on my K1 visa. Correct?

You will not be able to apply for a SSN until you arrive in the US and you will find this to be either a very simple process or a RPITA. As a K-1 visa holder you are allowed to apply for a SSN using the I-94, your passport, and another form of ID (i.e. birth certificate). It is recommended that you go about 2 weeks after arriving and 2 weeks before the I-94 expires. It is also suggested you apply in the maiden name to lessen the problems and then go back to change the name if you so desire. You can do an advanced search on the author I'M GONE and SSN as he used to work for the SSA and had several tips on how to hand the different problems. The new wrinkle is that you now have to go on-line to get the I-94 which may require a trip to a CBP deferred inspection station near you to get the information entered correctly. Then the SSA employees may not have been trained that the old paper I-94 is no more.

Good luck,

Dave
