What if beneficiary's address changed before NOA2?

[Armenia 18]

I'm the beneficiary. My address on the I-130 and my G-325A is my Canadian address but I will be visiting/staying in the Philippines during the 3-4 mos that I am waiting for the medicals/interview. We've already received NOA1.

Do I have to call USCIS to inform them of the change of address right away? i.e., even before my husband receives the AOS bill and DS-3032 ( I will be appointing my husband as agent in the DS-3032)? Or is it enough that my "new" Philippine address is the one that will be on my DS-230? I'm assuming here that since my Phil address is on the DS-230, that they're automatically going to replace whatever address of mine was entered in their database/system.

Has anyone (beneficiary) changed address while their I-130s were still in the before-NOA2 stage?

If you spent more than 6 continuous months in Canada, I'd be more concerned with the police clearance report for Canada, THAN the address of where you lived. That PCC has to be presented during NVC processing.

If you were interviewing in Montreal, then I would not concern anything about the Manila address.

Since you are interviewing in Manila, then you should have track of the addresses where you lived, perhaps in an updated G-325-A to be presented on Interview Day.

I thought the DS-230 contains your current permanent residence address, yes?

wassup?

The RCMP Canadian police certificate is not a problem. I already have that.

The DS-230 form asks for "PERMANENT address in the US where you intend to live" and "Present Address."

My present address is in Canada. I am not a Canadian citizen nor permanent resident. I am here as an international grad student. Our (mine and my husband's) initial plan was for me to extend my stay here in Canada while waiting for my visa which is why we put Montreal in #22 (apply for visa abroad at the American Consular post in) on the I-130. However, plans have changed. I will be going home to the Phils this spring and not requesting for extension of my study permit. By the time I have to submit the DS-230, I will already be in the Phils. That is why I asked in the first post if I still have to inform USCIS at this point (before receiving NOA2) if my DS-230 will be showing my Phil address anyway.

You're right. The place of interview is more important. I think that's more important to update right now. I found another thread where someone updated the beneficiary address by sending a snail mail to the USCIS address on NOA1. I'll do that - snail mail them with a request to change "American consular post where I (beneficiary) will apply for visa accompanied by photocopies of my Canadian study permit (to show alien status in Canada and expiry date of status), Phil passport (to show my Phil citizenship/nationality), and current USA B1/B2 visa (again, to show my Phil nationality).
