Address change 1-129f

[Pollotra 0]

My fiance and I have just finished the I-129f form and are preparing to submit within the week. However, I also just purchased a new house and will be changing my address/moving in during the month of April. My question is, considering I will be closing on the house within the month, for the I-129f form should I include my new address I will be moving in to in April or should I include my current address and submit a change of address form once I reach my move in date? I am assuming I would send a correction but I just want to make sure that is appropriate as extra steps is always more confusion. Thank you!

If you can pick up your NOA1 over at the new address, you could save the hassle and just put your new address in.   This house is already in your name and guaranteed that you can move in anytime yes everything signed and good to go if so use your new address.

 

Be sure you will be able to pick up your NOA1 which comes in about a week.

Mail from USCIS cannot be forwarded.  It can be upwards of 4-6 weeks before you receive the NOA1.   You can't update your address with USCIS until you have your NOA1 (I-797) receipt number.

Similar question.. my fiancé and I are ready to file the I-129F, but he will be moving in a month or two to a new apartment in his home country. Is there a problem with his address changing while the I-129F is processing? Do we have to update this in some way?

At the initial filing of the I-129f, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) you should only be concerned with the petitioner's address as they are the ones that will receive both the NOA's. Beneficiary can update on the DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application and at the interview if necessary.

That is incorrect. I received my NOA1 while at a temporary address because our house had a fire and was being rebuilt. The envelope had the yellow sticker from USPS with the forwarded address.

Interesting.  Was there  printing on the envelope stating (from USCIS) DO NOT FORWARD?   If the envelope did not have the statement DO NOT FORWARD then no issue with USPS forwarding.

No it didn't have that, but honestly I just looked it up and there is mention that USCIS does not forward and may have a requested return service label so maybe I got lucky? Or because our house was still in our name but no one there because it was burned down.

We are in some unusual times right now .. USCIS might have a more "user friendly side" ...
