Change of address

[amelynn43 0]

I'm really getting stressed about my address change in the middle of this whole process. My petition was approved July 29 (yay!!!), and I just moved August 5. I called USCIS on August 1, and they told me I have to write a letter to NVC with the change of address. I'm just worried this letter won't find the right place. Is there any way I can call them to update my address? If so, what is the number? Has anyone else had this problem? I wasn't worried about it, because I thought my petition would still be pending, and I could just change it with USCIS, but now they've told me they can't change it at all? Please help! I leave for a business trip tomorrow, so i want to get this straigtened out before it gets transferred to the embassy!

As I understand it, you're the petitioner? You'll only get a letter in the mail when they send the petition to the consulate. Other than that, if everything's fine, there's no reason why they'd need your address.

You can try and call NVC (603.334-0700) and talk to an operator, from Mo-Fri, from 7:30 AM to 12:30 AM (EST). Also, if they already have it there, you can give them your receipt number (NOA) and get your new case number.

Good luck!

Whose address is changing? The sponsor in the US or the recipient of the visa in the UK?

If it is the US sponsor, you just need to make sure you receive the hard copy of the NOA2.

If it is UK recipient, here is what I did. I had a letter pre made that had all important information, NOA dates, A number, NSC number, old address and new address. I called the NVC every morning until the case arrived. I then faxed (they gave me the number) the change of address sheet and also needed to send it to the NVC priority mail. My information was changed within two days. This is what we did as Marilyn's address moved from Hong Kong to the Philippines but it all worked out.

Marilyn and Peter.

I apologize for not giving more information. I am the petitioner, and I have changed address. I already received my NOA2 before I moved. Do you think I have to call to change my address? I know it asks for the address that your fiance will be living at once he/she moves, but is it necessary?

Have you gotten NOA2 in the mail before you moved? If so, you're okay. You may want to try and change your address with NVC, so you get the notice of the petition being sent to the consulate in the mail.

As for the address where your fiance will be living, it's okay not to change it at this time, and it's actually not possible at the moment, since you cannot change it with USCIS at this point. Hopefully someone else will be able to provide more info on this.

Thanks for your help Mew, and congratulations! I am not as worried after your help! I received the NOA2 in the mail this past week, so I have the hard copy. It looks like you unfortunately have a lot of experience with all of this! Since you've already recieved Packets 3, and 4...I've just been wondering what's in them? Thanks again!
