Fiance relocating

[Mike & Allen 0]

Hi Everybody,

I am new to the site. I have a question about a fiance visa. My fiance and I are planning to file for her visa in September. We have had an ongoing relationship for a year and a half now, and we were engaged when I went to visit her last January in the Philippines. My question is as follows: My fiance is now living in the Philippines, but she is planning on relocating to Dubai for a job in October. My question is if I were to file her petition now, while she is still living in The Philippines, would there be any problems if she relocated to Dubai?

If she is a legal resident of the UAE, she can have her interview there. But if the petition is not approved by the time she moves, you may need to inform USCIS or the NVC of the address change.

Would it be better for me to wait until she moves to Dubai, and then file the petition? She has lived there before, but she is only there because of work so I doubt she is a legal resident, but I don't know how it works.

Legal resident means that she is living in the country on a valid visa (non-tourist).

It would probably be better to file after the move, you wont need to try to correct the address later. I am not sure if its possible to give then a new address as part of the petition if you file now.

Ok. I figured we might have to wait to file the petition after she moves.

My suggestion to you is to find out 'how it works' with her status in Dubai before making any decisions.
