Moving House

[Uzume 0]

Hi

I have received my NOA 2 (woo-hoo) but I may have to move house in about 8 weeks.

If anyone has personal experience of this, please will you let me know if it affected the rest of your K1 process or if it still went OK?

Many thanks

JD

I don't have 'personal experience' with this, but as the consular phase of the process is all about your fiance -- meaning you won't be receiving any correspondance again until AOS phase. By then, you would have already moved so you can just put the new address on the AOS forms.

You may want your fiance to put your new address on the forms he fills out for the consulate - assuming you will know the new address by that time.

Thanks for the info TracyTN, I'm not sure what effect it will have, I am the beneficiary and so it might affect things from what you have said.

I'm going to try and stay here as long as I can, hopefully, I will have my visa in hand before I move which (I assume) means I will be OK.

Thanks again

As long as your mail will get to you, it is no problem but changing the address with the Embassy is far easier than changing it with USCIS. Just do it if you need to.

Yes, what pushbrk said! (Sorry, I didn't realize you are the beneficiary!)

I actually have a related question. If the beneficiary has moved after I-129F filing but before the petition gets to the consulate....do I just contact the consulate around the time they would send Packet 3 out, and change the beneficiary's address? It is not a major problem, because he can still receive mail at his old address, I just prefer to have his new address reflected.

Yes, I would send the change of address as soon as you can verify the Consulate has the electronic file. Verify this by calling DOS, then email the change of address to the Consulate.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks for the info - and to TraceyTN too - (I should've stated I was beneficiary...didn't cross my mind). :-)
