Me and my husband is just really confused.He is in the US military and currently deployed in Afghanistan.We're already talking about applying my visa while he's there so that when he gets out of deployment,hopefully I can be in the States with him.He is going to file for the I-130,but then we dont know what address he's going to put there.After his 2 weeks vacation here before he got deployed he was stationed in Ft. Polk Louisiana,when he left for deployment he gave up his apartment and put his stuff in a storage facility.Now,we want to know what address we should put there since he's deployed.Please help...Any suggestions or advice will help us....

And plus one more question, If he files the I-130,do we need to file the I-129f?

Thank you so much...

If he has any other address where he can show it as domicile, you can use it. Otherwise write ''Please see attached" and write an explanation in a separate sheet about your situation.

I-129F is not needed, it is for K-3 visa. Now K3 and IR1/CR1 take same time.

Don't forget to expedite your I-130 based on 'Active Military'. You may be approved in 2 months time.

Thank you so much for that...I will tell my husband about it coz thats the only thing we need to find out right now so we can file the visa...So that means if he expedite the petition it might just take 2 months?? That sounds really nice...but he still have 11 months to go before he leave afghanistan....What can we do?

If you get I-130 expedited say in 2 months, there are other processes to complete - NVC another 2 months, Consulate interview another 2 months. Visa will be normally valid upto 6 months. So, you may request to give a max. validity of 6 months for the visa at the time of interview based on miliary duty of your husband.
