K1 Address

[jlchile 0]

Hi,

I am currently living in Chile (for 1 year), and am filling out the K1. I plan on using my parents house as my residence in the US. My question is, should I list my address here as my current address, or list theirs, despite the fact that I'm not living there right now. My fear of using my address here is that I will not have a permanent address shown for the US. Would it look funny if I say I'm living with my parents, despite the fact that I will also be saying I have been living in Chile?

Thanks,

JL

But you already asked this! Are you in Chile legally or not? Are you working legally or not? This could make a difference in terms of the G325A, someone told me. Is that why you guys won't get married there, etc.? What's going on. If you're there, why are you trying to do the K1?

As for the I-129F address, just list your residence in the US.

THIS is why I waited til I was home to file.

I guess my question is different now that I am filling out the forms. I am working here, but for a company in the US, not a Chilean company. I am doing freelance work through the internet. I am not here on a visa, just my passport. And my checks for my work are being sent to my parents house.

I don't want to do the K3 because we want the wedding to be right before we leave, so we can have a celebration both here and there.

My inclination is to put all the addresses in the US, and just say I am temperarily living here.

There really isn't any reason for you to indicate where you are temporarily living. Use your parent's address and make sure they check your mail for you in case the service center has to send you something after the NOA1. If you use an address in Chile, you won't qualify since you have to have a US domicile. Good luck.

Further to kitkat1's point, ensure you have documented evidence of your income. This is critical in the K-1 process. You probably do earn well over the poverty line, but it needs to be well documented.

This entire process is about documentation, proving your case for sponsoring a foreign national as your spouse.

Use the U.S. Address, as this will facilitate the receipt of important documents that may be needed to complete the processing.

Best of luck.
