Hello all!

I am early in my visa journey, but just planning ahead. I will be going to see my girlfriend in Ukraine for the first time in a few weeks, and will of course start keeping photos, etc... We have been chatting for months, we met on a dating site - and therefore also complied with IMBRA, but also I found out that I know personal friends who have met this woman - so I am comfortable that she is sincere and genuine, and that we will also get along in person and want to continue a relationship. I of course plan to go back and visit her within 2-3 months assuming this first trip goes well. There will possibly be a 3rd trip as well before we even start the visa process. We will document all of that and our ongoing communication.

I have a good job, and have been at my current company for 3.5 years, and in my industry employed over 11 years. I am considering taking a new job at another company in another state. Even if I do not that take that job, I would like to move to a different city that is both closer to my work, and would be better for when my girl and her son would get here (better schools, closer to shopping and activities, closer to work, a house with a yard instead of a townhouse, etc...).

How would me moving (and possibly changing jobs) affect our visa process? It that something that is simple to update along the way, or are there either formal, or for convenience sake, large "no change date periods" I would want to avoid and either move before or after those parts of the process?

Thanks!

If you change your address in the middle of any process with USCIS, you will have to submit a completed and sighed Form I-865 to USCIS as a sponsor.

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-865instr.pdf

Along with mailing the I-865 I would recommend to notify and your local Post Office.

We have changed the address and notified the USCIS - I filed the form AR-11 on-line, my husband, as a sponsor, mailed the form I-865. We both received confirmations - online and regular mails, the USCIS system has been also updated about that change. But despite all of the above 3 months later my EAD and NPIW letter were sent to our previous address. 10 months later - the same thing with RFE for my AOS. All documents have finally found me only because we have notified the local Post Office.

Also, I would keep in touch with people on your previous address.

Good luck!!!!! :)

Form I-865 - if you change your address during AOS and so. But, yes, at the I-129F stage you can go on-line and change it through the USCIS website or call 1-800-375-5283... along with notifying the local Post Office :)
