I left my home in Denver to come to England a few months ago. When I left, I forwarded my mail to my mother's home in Texas.

I plan on being here until my fiance can return with me (with his K-1) doing the entire process from overseas.

We are just starting this process. We plan on living in Denver once we get back, but do not know the address yet.

Should we use my mother's address for our proposed place to live? Should I say that's the last place I lived? (I was there for two weeks between England and Denver). My mother still receives my mail there.

If we do use her address--will it be okay to use Denver as our POE? Will it be okay to not end up living in Texas? Or marrying there? We will be in Denver once again. Even though thats what it will say on our documents?

Thanks for your help!

Use your mother's address.

One thing to consider before you commit yourself to staying overseas for the whole process . . . once you get married your former fiancee/now spouse will need to submit an application to adjust status from a non-immigrant K-1 to a Permanent Resident. It is called AOS. Until you do this she has no legal status in the US once her 90 days have passed. Part of this AOS process includes submitting an affidavit of support where you have to provide proof you have sufficient US based income to support your spouse and she will not have to seek any type of public assistance. You affidavit needs to be accompanied by income tax records proving your income, by a letter from your employer and sometimes by pay stubs, and bank records. If you are not able to meet the affidavit of support through income you can use assets but they needs to be 3 or 5 times (I don't recall which the amount you need to have for sponsorship, and again you need to submit proof. If you can't provide either then you need to have a co-sponsor who will provide that guarantee. Just so you are aware of this requirement so you can be prepared.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Thanks.

My father should be helping us with that one.
