Hi,

It's been over 4 months since we received our NOA1 and we're still waiting (impatiently) for our NOA2, in the meanwhile I moved and will be moving around until I get the K1 visa and move to the US.

How do we change my address?

Since there is no info on this on the website we tried calling the California Service center with no success, my finance could not get through to an actual person.

Does anybody have info regarding contacting them?

Do we have to contact the National Service Center first?

Another question, I have a tourist visa that's still valid, can I go visit him while we're waiting?

Or should I wait until I get the K1 visa?

Thank you and good luck to all!

:)

This is from page 6 of the I-129F instructions:

If you change your address and you have an application or petition pending with USCIS, you may change your address on-line at www.uscis.gov, click on "Online Change of Address" with USCIS and follow the prompts or by completing and mailing Form AR-11, Alien's Change of Address Card, to:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Change of Address P.O. Box 7134 London, KY 40742-7134

You did read the instructions when you filed the form didn't you? :whistle:

If you have tourist visa, you may visit your spouse. Bring all the ties to your country, just in case, to convince the officer at POE.
