Change of Address questions

[knnth 0]

Hi all, I have a few questions regarding our situation.

Just a bit of a background to our story: My fiance (petitioner) and I (beneficiary) filed our I129F (to VSC) on January 12th, and received our NOA1 on January 14th. She lives Oklahoma, and will be moving to Colorado sometime in April to live with family before I can enter on the K-1 (assuming it gets granted)

Just looking for some feedback on a few things:

1) I've registered as a customer on the USCIS website to check our case status and to receive updates. Is it ok for me, as the beneficiary, to file the Change of Address?

2) Is it ok to change her address before she actually moves? Our timeline says we should expect the NOA2 late April early May, and she will be moving mid April.

3) She is moving out of state (Oklahoma to Colorado) Is this a problem? Is there anything extra that needs to be done?

4) The address she will be moving to will not be permanent, as we'll get our own place once I can enter on our K-1, so I guess in the future we might have to change our address again during the AOS. Does this pose a problem?

Sorry about the questions, I just want more info before I go about doing this, and the VJ community has been nothing but the best source of info

at the beginning of the 1129f process up until NVC, the beneficiary does not need to inform uscis of their change of address. Only the petitioner does. You cannot fill out the change of form for your USC, they would have to file an AR 11 themselves. The beneficiary can call dos and nvc and update their address as it only pertains to the p3 and p4.

She can change her address whenever you want, the sooner the better though.

Moving out of state for an already filed petition will not alter anything. Yes at the nvc stage when you send back p3 you will have to put the residence you will be living at after your POE.

So to clarify, she's registered on the USCIS site with all her information, yet I cannot go through the motions with her information and file her change of address?

To my knowledge and doign it myself, the usc has to fill out the ar 11 and sign it and send it back..so unless you will be signing or faking her signature.....that would be ill advised.

First off, thanks for your answers kimbear! I forget to express my thanks before, and I love this community for all the help and information that's available here. Without this resource, I don't know what we'd do!

From the USCIS site I've already registered on with her information:

1. U.S. Citizens

If you have moved, and you have a pending case, you can change your address online here on our website. Please note that the law does not require U.S. citizens to file a Form AR-11.

I should have mentioned before, but we will be filing the Change of Address online, and not through the mail with the AR-11. My Fiance's given me all the information regarding the move, and it's just easier for both of us if I go through the motions. Does this change anything?

I was not aware you could do it online nowadays. When i did it it had to be mailed. You can go ahead and try and do it. worse case is it asks you something you can't answer i guess.
