I-130 filled by petitioner at Tokyo Embassy

First time poster here, though I have read a lot of the advice and found it to be very useful.

I filed my I-130 petition with my wife at the Tokyo Embassy. The I-130 was accepted and I have since returned to the US to start my new job and get things settled. My wife is preparing for her final interview in Tokyo (preparing the final documents). While at the embassy I was told I could change my address via the US Immigration website. After calling the US Immigration hot-line I was told I would need to contact the Tokyo embassy and not US National Immigration office to change my address because the current system cannot change foreign addresses.

My question is do I need to contact the Tokyo Embassy and get my address changed? I have been trying hard to find information on this and can't seem to find it anywhere on the Tokyo Embassy website about contacting them for a change in my address.

Am I right to assume that by listing where my wife intends to live in the US (where I am currently living...I think this was on her 230 or the I-130 application, I can't remember at the moment) I don't need to change my address with the embassy?

Thanks for any advice you have. It's been a frustrating and slightly confusing week.

Edit: my apologies I think I posted this in the wrong topic. I think it was probably meant for the DCF

We had the same situation. My husband (USC) returned to the US a month before my final interview and moved to a different place from what was listed on all of the immigration papers, but we didn't report the address change to the embassy. Instead, we filed I-865 (sponsor's address change) after I had moved to the US. As long as your wife provides the right address you will live at in the US at the time of her final interview, USCIS will mail her GC to the address regardless of the addresses listed on the I-130, G-325, DS-230, etc.

Thank you so much for the feedback.
