my brother's case is at NVC, but he has changed his address, what should I do?

[visausa 0]

Hello, everybody:

I have the following question which need your help:

I petitioned my brother on Jan 2002 (I-130);

On Oct 25, 2009, I received a notice saying that the application was tranfered to the National Visa Center; The notice indicated that "the NVC will contact the beneficiary concernign further immigrant visa processing steps";

However, my brother's address has been changed over these 7 years' of waiting period;

What should I do?

Should I send NVC a letter indicating the change of the address of my brother?

Really appreciate if someone drop me any information.

Thanks!

Since his address has changed then i believe you should file the form AR-11 (Alien's Change of Address).

Actually you could do it in 2 different ways, 1st, send it thru mail and 2nd, do it online.

You know where to find the form right? yes, go to uscis.gov and click on Forms.

Look under "More Informations" on the right hand side and click either on Change of Address or Electronic Change of Address, you may want to look at both to see which way you will want to use.

Hope it wont be too late for you to file this form since they require to submit this Change of address form within 10 days after completing the change of address. But it should be fine...please just do it as soon as you could, alright?

Read all the instruction carefully...

Wow - 7 years..

Now - ya gotta do NVC Processing (YOU ) .

Have a read -

Paper Processing: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...he_NVC_ShortCut

Electronic Processing - http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...onic_Processing

Give NVC a call tomorrow, inquire if an NVC casenumber is available yet (it all starts with that phone call ).

Gather up his original documents - and read all of the pages at http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html

Anyway - it's a lot of reading now.

The GUZ Supplemental Form will capture his current address.

If he needs to submit a new G-325A - this is the time to do so, include it with a copy of the DS-230 .

wei- save me some frozen moon cake?

I thought that was useful for ppl who are already in the USA, or at least hold a greencard?

That's not the case with the brother, yet...

Visausa -

BIG PS -

It will take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks for the casefile to be 'opened' at NVC. I suggest you start calling 10 days past Oct 25th.

NVC Processing will take between 1 to 3 months, depending on how ya do it. Read the three links I posted, map out a plan on paper, get the forms and documents you need, start practicing

Good Luck !

since the case has been forwarded to NVC, i would call them and inform them of the new address. i am going to have to do this soon for my husband if it doesn't get to the embassy before he has to move in november.

Visausa - IMO - that form letter was wrong.

Your brother may or may not receive instructions, at all.

If I WERE YOU (no wait - if YOU WERE ME !!! )

Start calling NVC hotline, get a human, about 2 weeks after this OCT 25 date. If there were NO PROBLEMS at USCIS, then a GUZ casefile will get assigned at NVC.

Once YOU have a GUZ casefile number at NVC, then it's time to start NVC processing - I've given you 3 links to study on 'what to do at NVC'. Start studying those now, map out a plan, tell yer brother to get some documents ASAP.

Ar-11 is only for people in the u.s. you need to call nvc and see if they will change his address (most of the time they won't) and tell you to send a letter to them (they do accept change of addresses by mail unlike uscis service centers). But many cases aren't there long enough for your letter to arrive before it gets sent out. If that happens (like in my case) the embassy will end up sending info to the wrong address but will send it to the correct address if you let them know. So don't worry about it, even if it makes it to the embassy with the wrong address everything can be fixed with a call/letter to the embassy. Also if for some reason you move to another country like we did you just need to have the embassy forward it to the correct embassy, so even in the most complicated nighmare it will be fine
