Packet 3

[T and J 2]

I have a question regarding packet 3. My fiancee owns a house and also rents an apartment. We used both addresses on her G325 (Her house was marked permanent and the apartment was marked secondary), but used her house address on the I129F. During the time that we expect to receive packet 3, she will be at the apartment. My expectation is that they will send the packet 3 to her house. So is there a way to inform the powers that be to send packet 3 to the apartment (we have not received the NOA2 yet)? Her house is about a 10 hour drive away from the apartment. Her parents will be able to mail her packet 3 to the apartment, so it's not a major issue. Just trying to save ourselves 3 more days of waiting.

Your fiamcee can file a change of address notification form (I believe it is the AR-11). This form can be used for either the USC petitioner or the beneficiary.

I just have a couple concerns about doing a Change of Address. I admit I should read up more on what exactly a Change of Address truly means. One of my assumptions is that they use the address during the background check. So my concern is that doing a Change of Address will cause a delay in the background checks longer than 3 days. My other concern is that her official address has not changed. My concern is that because her name is on a title of a house and all of her official documents give the address of her house, that it will cause issues at the embassy because there was a Change of Address that says she lives somewhere else.

Typically background checks on the beneficiary are performed at the NVC level and assuming the name check clears, the petition if forwarded to the applicible Embassy. I can't see where your fiancee having had changed her address will cause a delay.

Also, your fiancee will need police certificates for each place she's lived since I believe the age of 16. She'll have these for her interview, so there should be no hold up at that stage either.

I don't think that the fact of your fiancee owning a house in a different city from her primary domicile is cause for alarm. If asked by the Consulate - a simple answer that she was on vacation at her other home should suffice.

just email the embassy w/ the address you want them to contact her at when your file arrives in Bangkok. Case closed.

Her parents can confirm it has arrived and your fiancee can get the forms from the embassies website:

http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/immigrant_vis...structions.html

Easier to complete them online and print them anyway. We had ours completed before the embassy had even received the info from NVC. Once we were sure they had her file, we mailed them the appropriate items based on the checklist.

Yeah, I agree with rsn ( I'm assuming your changing the address of the beneficiary?) You can't do this with AR-11 unless it's a stateside address, you have to write a letter to have them change it on the hard copy. It didn't effect my time for background check, but it's much easier just to change it with the embassy. I changed mine with USCIS with a letter because i was paranoid they would send it to Australia.

But it doesn't matter, because you won't get Packet 3 in the mail anyway (at least we didn't, or many others on here) , just download it from the website after ensuring that they have received your file from NVC.
