I have the CR-1 visa obtained by DCF and we will enter US soon. We will live in two different places in the first 4 months and will not live in the place we mentioned in I-130. The questions are:

1) Can I change the address (online, at the POE, etc) where my GC will be mailed?

2) If yes, when should we expect it?

DCF, CR-1

2014-10-15 - I-130 filed in Moscow, Russia consulate

 

2014-10-28 - approval notice was issued and received by the petitioner a couple of days later

 

2014-11-14 - case number received by the beneficiary

 

2014-11-30 - DS-260 completed online

 

2014-12-15 - appointment at the US consulate, Moscow, Russia

 

2014-12-18 - passport with CR-1 visa collected

 

2015-01-18 - ELIS fee paid

1. Yes at PoE.

2. It can take up to 3 months, but around 6 weeks is more normal. The stamp in your passport's visa page will act as a temporary greencard for a year, so you can work and travel.
