I-129F and G-325A Question

[smoahmad 0]

For the I-129F Questions 2 and 15 both ask for an address for the foreign fiancé, and the G-325A asks about residence.

On the G-325A, I will obviously put my fiancé's street address, as that indicates where he's been residing.

However, for the I-129F, I am not quite as confident choosing between street address and mailing address. In the UAE, no mail is ever delivered by street address; post is sent to P.O. boxes and you pick up your mail. My concern is that later down the line, at the embassy stage, the CO will take his address from the I-129F and try sending Packet 3/4 to his physical residence, which would not work.

I'm currently planning to fill out the boxes with his street address (even though where he lives doesn't have a street per se), and then make some kind of notation on the cover letter about an addendum to Questions 2 and 15. I would then attach a document explaining that his physical residence is such and such, but his mailing address is such and such.

Any thoughts on this? Has anyone else had similar issues with mailing vs. street address? I just don't want to screw things up by putting the incorrect address in. Thanks!

Although I don't know anything about the UAE personally, I do know that for the first part of the K1, my then fiance was mailed the notices to his US address, and then he was emailed P3 and P4. So the first bit of advice i have is to make sure you put an email address on the form where it mentions it. Just in case the UAE do it this way too.

If the mail was sent to the physical address would they know which PO Box it belongs to? I know in Australia that we have a PO Box and even if we're sent mail with a street address it goes to our PO Box. If that doesn't happen then I think your suggestion about mailing address letter is a good idea.

Hope someone from UAE is able to help out
