I-129F Question: Address in the US where my fiancé intends to live.

Hi. :) I'm filing my I-129F and I've got a problem with finding an address in the US where my fiancé intends to live.

At the moment I live in all-women's housing in New York City, so obviously I can't list my own address.. My parents' house is in Michigan, but the immigration office for Michigan is different from that of New York (where my fiancé and I intend to live.)

If all goes well, I hope to be able to move into my own apartment to with him around the time that he moves over here.. But until then, what can I put down as an address?

My friends who live in the New York area are hesitant to house him or let us use their addresses until we can find our own apartment, because they don't know what it entails.. Does anyone have any information on this? Will he be just receiving mail at this address, or will he actually need to be present and show evidence of living there?

Any information would be helpful.. thank you so much!

You still file where you currently live so the address you give on the I-129F for where they plan to live does not affect that.

You could use your parents address for the I-129F. When you get to the interview stage you will be required to provide an address at that time. That is the one that is important as it will be his official address and must be kept current.

When I originally filed I had one physical address listed on my I-129F, since then I have sold that home and am renting, (my PO Box hasnt changed) on my Fiancees 230 at the interview we will show our new address as the her official residence once in the states.

I wonder if anyone has put down - "intend to rent an apt. when he/she arrives in the USA" - it whould be logically correct but may not be acceptable to the USCIS. Good Luck

Alice Meichi,

Enter as much as you know, or anticipate, and 'tbd' (to be determined) for the rest. tbd, New York, New York in your case, if you plan on staying in the city?

Which USCIS Service Center will process your petition is a function of where you live now, not where your fiance might live when he comes to the USA.

Hmm.. Okay, that sounds like a good plan. Out of curiosity though, what exactly does the address where my fiancé will be staying entail? Will he be receiving mail there, or will he have to be physically present..?

Also, whenabouts would the interview process be starting? Is this after we receive the visa?

Thank you so much for the help!

Alice,

I think the idea here is to use an address that you know for sure 100% that you will receive all the MAILS from USCIS if they do send you mail during the visa process. Your future address as Yordak mentioned can be "TBD". So, if your parents address is a good one, they won't sell the house in the next 12 months or what not, you should use that address. Your physical address is not important YET!

"You always get what you've always gotten if you always do what you always did."

Alice Meichi,

Your first question is a good one. The answers to your second and third questions are 'no' and 'no'.

You will receive mail from the USCIS at the address you enter in A.2.
