Couple of questions

[MEDSHE20 0]

I asked these same questions in candle for love website, so am hoping I get some answers. From my timeline you can see our K1 was denied in China. My fiance and I got married in Hong Kong in February. I am getting ready to mail in our K3 paperwork. My questions are:

1. My husband lives in Guangzhou, China, he will have his interview in Hong Kong. Will he need to get a post office box in Hong Kong for them to mail his paperwork to, or will they mail it to China?

2. What will happen if he moves after I have sent the paperwork in, is there a change of address form I need to fill out or do I call the USCIS and advise them of the new address?

Thanks.

USCIS will send the petitioner the paperwork or NOA1 and NOA2. Your husband assign an agent, which could be you or a lawyer, which is where his paperwork will get mailed. I think the form is DS2032 or DS3023 something like that.

2. What will happen if he moves after I have sent the paperwork in, is there a change of address form I need to fill out or do I call the USCIS and advise them of the new address?

The USCIS has a handy address changed on the website or you can call in the address change. I did it via the web and received a resonce the next day to confirm the change.

If you are following the K3 path, any K3 visa interview would be in Hong Kong, the country the marriage took place. I would contact the Consulate directly and ask about mailing to China but I believe they will. Any change of address by the beneficiary before the interview can be sent directly to the Consulate and/or to USCIS depending on when it occurs during the process.

Assigning agents is done with CR1 cases, not K3 cases. K3 cases typically have no communication with NVC.
