Hello,

I'm filing Form I-130 Petition from South Korea for my wife, and since the USCIS office in Seoul recently closed we will have to mail it to the U.S. However, on the website there is information saying we need to mail it to the Chicago lockbox if we're outside the US, and another section saying we should mail it to the Dallas lockbox (screen shots attached). I'm not sure which information to follow, or if either is okay. Could someone please share any insight you have?

Many thanks!

Hello,

I'm an American citizen living in South Korea. I have been living here for 4 years. I got married four months ago to my wife who is Korean. We are planning to move to the U.S. in Fall of 2020 so she can attend graduate school.  She has a master's degree in English Language Instruction, but will be pursuing a degree in a different field. She will be a full time student and likely won't work while studying. I have not lived in the U.S. for 4 years, and I have never lived in the state where we hope to move for school. We don't know our plans after she graduates, we will likely move back to Korea, but there is the possibility we may want to stay in the U.S. after graduation.  

Is a CR1 visa the obvious option for us? Or would an F1 visa also be suitable for our situation? If we applied for a CR1 visa and ended up moving back to Korea for several years after graduation would the visa be canceled? Would being a married couple on an F1 visa cause any foreseeable problems? 

Thanks for your help!
