Thanks for the update! I had sent an inquiry on Monday and got my case number today! We are over the moon. I hope its smooth sailing for you and yours! Cheers!

Same boat here. NOA2 approval Oct 15, Sent to DOS Dec 17. Crickets ever since. Two inquiries to the NVC, next week I'll be sending a third. Definitely the holiday slow down effecting those sent before the Christmas holiday in the US, unfortunately.

I'm not waiting to get a new place, there's just not a ton of leasing options in the area for a January 1st move in that also allow dogs, and "large" dogs at that (ours is 60lbs). Landlords in my area most of the time are no pets. That includes cities and towns outside of my area, within an hour. There's a ton of more options that open up in February/March in my area usually, that's what trends have reported for the last 2 years. I'm expecting USCIS to change our case status to “Case Has Been Transferred To The Department Of State” in at least 30 days due to trends with other users getting approved in August/September. Its just an unfortunate timing all around. You still bring up a very good idea, thanks for your input.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear in my post. Yes, I'm a US citizen and I live in the US. I'm planning on getting a new lease and I can easily have mail forwarded to my place of work temporarily via USPS during the move to the new physical address. I guess I'm worried on my Fiance's behalf. From what you said, it sounds like when he files the DS-160, he can just put the new physical address instead, which is awesome to hear. The NVC doesn't care about where he will live at all, its only once that he gets to the interview stage, they care. Thanks for your insight.

Hi everyone, February 2025 filer. My petition was approved on October 14th, 2025. I currently live in an apartment which the lease will end December 31. I have the option to go to month to month after the end of the lease. This apartment's address was used in my I-129F petition. The main issue is, the current apartment will not allow dogs. My fiance and I have a dog together from when I was living with him pre-February 2025 (I was in Canada on a work visa for 3 years), which that dog is currently living at his place of residence in Canada. Once my fiance moves here, I will have to be living in an apartment that allows dogs. I'm wondering if anyone has had to change their address during the petition process before? I'm assuming that its not easy it to inform the NVC (I'm also assuming that the petition even getting to the NVC at this point will be late December or early January 2026) or the U.S. Consulate/Embassy in Montreal about where my fiance and I will reside during this Visa process. Please let me know if anyone has any insight. Thank you.
