Moving Questions Re: K1 Visa After 2nd NOA is Received [merged threads]

[TJLAKA 1]

Hello,

 

I'm thinking that I may need to vacate where I live and move to another location until my fiancee comes to the States. We received our NOA2 a few weeks ago, supposedly our documents are being sent to the NVC, and I just want to make sure that I won't need to receive any super important mail between now and when she is granted her visa. 

 

I checked the timeline but didn't see any such documents. 

 

Thanks!

Your fiance would put your current (new) address on their DS-160.  And tell the CO at the interview is asked.

Would there be any repercussion if my fiancée put my “old” address from which I’d like to move on the DS-160 and if she referenced that in the interview? Is there ever going to be any future check to see if she/we reside there?

 

thanks!

Hi All,

 

Sorry if this is a duplicative question, but I'm curious about the best way to handle this -- I'm currently gathering documents to send to my fiancee in her home country following receipt of the NOA2, and I'm wondering how to handle the fact that while I currently live (with family) in one residence, I'm planning to move out until my fiancee arrives in the United States. Then, when she comes, I'm planning on finding a new apartment in which for us to live. 

 

Does that looks bad in the eyes of USCIS, or is that ok? I guess my thought is to, on the Affidavit of Support:

 

1. To put my current physical address (where I presently live with family) on the Affidavit of Support

2. In additional information for the Affidavit of Support, convey that while I am currently staying at my present address, I may soon move to another address until such time as my fiancee comes, then I plan that we'll go apartment hunting when she arrives. 

3. Convey how much money I have set aside for a new apartment, and other pertinent details about where we intend to move, what date we intend to move, etc. 

 

Is there any issue with doing this? I suppose I'm just trying to stay as transparent as possible and in the case that a consular officer wants more information about what our plans are, I just want to make sure we're on the up and up. By the way, I totally make enough money to find a new apartment--things just got weird with my family and I. 

 

Thanks.

1.  Not an issue at all.

2.  No need to convey that.  People move all the time.

3.  No need for that.  The I-864 already accounts for CURRENT annual income...which is the main aspect of financial support.  No need to indicate when you MIGHT move.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your response. Understood. 

 

• I was worried that following my fiancee's upcoming interview, a consular officer might seek to contact the owner of my current residence to verify that they would agree/were aware that I intended to have my fiancee stay here. Does that ever happen?

 

• I was also under the impression that for the K1 Visa I would have to use the I-134 instead of the I-864, and that the latter is for an eventual Green Card Application. 

Thank you.

They won't dig that deep.  The I-134 is the form for the K-1.  Just follow the directions to show bank and income info.  The I-864 is for adjustment of status.  You will need that form a little later.  Good luck.  I hope your journey is smooth.

No paper mail sent to the petitioner after NOA2.

Answer the DS-160 truthfully.  So your beneficiary should put whichever address is current at the time of DS-160 submission.  If your address changes by the time of the interview, your beneficiary should update the DS-160 info at the consulate on the day of the interview.

"So your beneficiary should put whichever address is current at the time of DS-160 submission.  If your address changes by the time of the interview, your beneficiary should update the DS-160 info at the consulate on the day of the interview."

 

I suppose my one worry is that all of my identifying info -- bank statements/accounts, address on file with my employer, etc., is still at my old address. If I move out by the time my fiancee has her interview, wouldn't it just be better to have her give them that same old address, so it's consistent with all of the proof of ongoing relationship/financial support documentation that I'm giving them to finish out the K1 process?

 

My concern is that if I say, "hey, I sent you all this information that says I live at (old address)" and then, say, I move to an AirBnb by the time my fiancee has the interview"--I'm worried that I might just confuse them and raise suspicion if I give them my new address at an AirBnB, especially if I'm planning on going apartment hunting (for an apartment for the both of us) by the time she comes.

 

Like is anyone actually going to check to see if I'm still at the old address? Sorry, I'm just trying to make this as simple as possible. I just don't think I can stay with family anymore by the time my fiancee has her interview.

There is no requirement for the petitioner to live in the same address all throughout their beneficiary's K1 process.  Petitioners are allowed to move residences anytime.  Also no requirement for the address info to be "consistent" across all the evidence submitted from start to finish.  There IS a requirement to be truthful in answering all the immigration forms and interview questions.  Do not risk your beneficiary's immigration journey by misrepresenting your info just because you think no one will check.  Just be truthful.  Full stop.
