i-130 question

[lyndsaycribbs 17]

Hi everyone,

Sorry to ask a question I am sure has been asked before, but I cant find it.

I am still trying to get everything together to send to my hubby so he can file the I-130. One of the problems we have is that his house burnt to the ground a few months ago and he has been staying with family until the insurance pays out. The insurance still hasnt paid out yet and im itching to get the paperwork sent in.

So my question is can we put in his family members address as the address we will all be living in when we move over? Or do we have to wait until he has his own house again?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Yes, he can put his family member's address. Is he the petitioner or the beneficiary?

Sorry he is the petitioner USC and im the beneficiary non USC and im in the UK. Would we need anything from his family member for this?

Thank you for the quick reply

During the application process, if he changes address, he can mail or submit a Change of Address form online within 30 days of moving to his new address, no biggie. If anything, his family should make sure he gets all his mail!

You guys may want to update your profile and your timeline so that other members can be able to help you better.

What kind of visa are you applying for?

As far as any kind of assistance from his family, if he is unable to meet the poverty guideline requirements for the application, you'd need a co-sponsor.

Thank you for all the information, I was waiting until we had sent the first lot of paperwork away before starting the timeline. We are going down the CR1 route. Lucky for us he just exceeds the poverty guideline requitements.

Ok, so that means at the NVC stage of your application process, he will be asked to provide an I-864 affidavit of support.

If he changes address before your petition is approved and forwarded to NVC, your beau should send in an AR-11 Change of Address form, which he can send online or by mail within 30 days of moving to his new address.

If he changes address after the I-864 Affidavit of Support is turned in (during the NVC stage and beyond), then he sends in an I-865 Change of Address form within 30 days of moving to his new address.

After you arrive, the I-864 is still in effect until you apply for citizenship or until you can show you have made 40 quarters of SSN contributions (worked in the US for 10 years); so within that time, every time you guys move, he has to send in an I-865 (within 30 days of moving), and you have to turn in an AR-11 (within 10 days, not 30 days of moving).

Blimy! Thank you for all the info and the details of all the forms we might need, that takes a big bit of pressure off.
