Hey folks,

Can anyone help me with the best way to notify the USCIS of my change of address? The address that I used on my application is now my old address as i've moved back in with my parents to save money for my move to the US. The online change of address on the USCIS website is for the applicant and US citizen only so I was wondering how I as the beneficiary and UK citizen notify them of my change of address for my K1 visa.

Thanks very much and wish everyone success

Stuart :)

I think the best way is to contact the embassy as soon as your case is approved... since USCIS never really deals with your address :)

Thanks. That's what I was thinking, just wanting to make sure they won't be annoyed that I didn't notify them immediately of my change of address.

I had the same situation. I moved home to save money shortly after filing the K1. There is no way to change the beneficiaries address via USCIS.

When your partner receives the NOA2 approval notice your petition will be sent on to NVC before it is sent to the embassy. At this stage you can telephone NVC and ask them to record the change of address. I would give it time for the petition to be sent to NVC though.

I did this, but it did not work. Fortunately, I had my mail forwarded from my previous address and I received a forwarded Packet 3. I was then able to contact the embassy to register the change of address.

In short, there is nothing you can do until NVC. Make sure you have mail forwarded and then try the NVC tactic. If that doesn't work the embassy will change the discrepancy.

and no one will get mad! Except you if you don't get your Packet 3 :P

Thanks, I feel a better now about this. I was worried it might delay things. This really is a process you wouldn't wish on anybody but a process i'm more than willing to do to be with Courtney.

Good luck all

Stuart :)

You know I was slightly irked when my packet 3 had to be forwarded. I lost another 3 days!!!! :P To be honest though, once your case gets to NVC it goes so fast that those 3 days that I got irked about were nothing.

Waiting for NOA2 is a different story though ;) I think I had too much time on my hands and sweated everything.

And it is worth it. All of it :) Good luck!
