Hi Everyone,

 

Here is my situation:

  • My wife currently lives in London; she is a student and will graduate in May.
  • After she graduates, she will go back to China.
  • On Form I-130, Page 5, Part 4, 11.a-11.h, Beneficiary's Physical Address, I put her current address in the UK.
  • On Page 8, 57.a-58.f, I put her address in China in Chinese.
  • On 62.a-62.c, I stated that she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the U.S. Embassy in Guangzhou.

I notice the note in the form:

Quote

Choosing a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate outside the country of the beneficiary's last residence does not guarantee that it will accept the beneficiary's case for processing. In these situations, the designated U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate has discretion over whether or not to accept the beneficiary's case.

We want to receive the packet at my wife's address in China and have the interview at the U.S. Embassy in Guangzhou since she will be graduating and going back to China soon.

My questions are:

  • Will USCIS use the address I provided in Chinese on pages 8, 57.a-58.f to send the packet to my wife, or will they use the address I provided in Part 4, 11.a-11.h, Beneficiary's Physical Address?
  • If USCIS will use the address provided in Beneficiary's Physical Address, should I change the address to her address in China as her physical address?
  • Or should I send what I have now and inform them of the address change in May by filling AR-11?
  • If I should go with AR-11, will it cause a big delay?

 

Thank you for reading, and I would appreciate any input you could provide.

That's perfect! If they send the packet by email, then we don't have to worry about keeping her apartment in the UK so she can receive the mails or worry about letting USCIS know about the change in address. Thank you!

USCIS will not communicate with the foreign spouse at any time during the process.  The first communication to the visa applicant (your wife) will be from the National Visa Center, (Part of Dept. of State, NOT USCIS).  It will be by email.  They will initially assign the case to London, and you'll have to communicate with them requesting its transfer to the "Consulate" (not an Embassy) in Guangzhou.

 

Do nothing with USCIS about her address change.  Deal with this at the NVC stage.

Thank you for your comment! Since I stated that she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou on 62.a-62.c, is there a chance it will be assigned directly to Guangzhou? I hope the transfer from London to Guangzhou won't add too much time.

Slim chance.  Couple weeks delay is what I've seen.
