Hello! Good day!

 

My fiance and I are going to start our K1 visa journey soon, but we are not sure where is the best place to file our petition. My fiance is the American. A little background: we’re both in Japan working right now and he will finish his contract this August. I will still be living in Japan for another year while he is back in the US and we will be doing some LDR.

 

Question: would it be better if we start filing our petition while he is still here in Japan or will it be much better to wait when he’s back in the US? If we do it in Japan, obviously, the filing address would be his Japanese home address, but we need all other important mails to be routed to his American address.

 

Any advice would be helpful.

 

Thank you very much!

I would assume to start the process as soon as you are able to, no matter where you live. If the petitioner moves, simply change the address via the USCIS web site. The sooner, the better, but the petitioner may or may not need to revisit Japan for the interview, depends on the country.

Thank you very much!

Not a problem,  a review of the form will give you the answer.   You use the American address as the mailing address and the Japanese address as his physical living address 

YMMV
