I-129F fiance address questions

[phwang 0]

Perhaps I'm being overly analytical, but I don't want to screw up the K-1 process on the very first step.

1) My fiancee lives and works in Shanghai, but her family lives in Anhui. Do we list her hometown address on the I-129F? This reminds me of when I was in college, I would always list my permanent address on official forms rather than my University address. But I'm guessing her current, local address is the one they want.

2) My fiancee plans to move to a different apartment at the end of July. We're considering listing the address of a close friend of hers on the I-129F (but not on the G-325A) so that we don't have to go through the address change process later. Is this frowned upon? From searching through the forums, it sounds like people have succesfully listed PO boxes on the I-129F. This isn't quite the same, hence my question. Would the address discrepancy cause an issue? I'd appreciate any advice here.

3) Is Part B, Question 2 (fiancee's address) only for if the fiancee is somehow currently residing in the USA? Otherwise, what's the point of asking Part B, Question 15 (fiancee's address abroad)? Or do I put in the same information in both spots?

Thanks for any help. My head is swimming with all the information from the forums. It's a lot to digest.

In Part b Q14 where will fiancee reside in USA, that's your address . Q 15 is her address in her country. YOu need to have an address for here where mail can be sent to if needed and she will receive it. Your address is where all mail will come to for the petition. If you have 2 different addresses on 129f and G325 that may look suss.

To question 1: an address where she can receive mails directly, mostly it is her address where she lives or works in Shanghai. Not her parents' address.

To question 2: The way how to write Chinese mailing addresss is different from USA mailing address. Follow the Chinese way, thus she can get it without a problem. If she moves, just update her address with NVC or Guangzhou by emails. It does not take much time or work. I think her address is better to avoid any unnecessary problems in the future. Does she get mails from her working place?

To question 3: It has been answered by Barbara J.

Thanks, I'll list her current Shanghai address for both part B questions 2 and 15 and deal with updating it when the time comes.

I would use a Shanghai address simply because it is one of the cities that GUZ will ship her package to after the interview if you don't plan to wait around.
