my fiance is moving before my arrival

[LoveLoveLove 18]

Hi everyone! I will be leaving 2weeks from now with a K1 visa in my hand (fiance will come home to PH for few days to pick me up).

He is moving from his parents' house to an apartment this week. So our problem is we declared on the DS156 that I will stay on the address of his parents however with my fiance's recent move, of course i will stay at his apartment. My problem is, i will be completing the I94 before my POE and I have to state there where i will stay, and also it might be asked when i go through the immigration at my POE. The immigration will see the discrepancy of the addresses.

What is the best way to solve this problem anyone?

Thank you very much.

tell them he moved and then file a change of address with USCIS. Simple.

yeah, what inky says (keeps on beating me to new topics garrrr) CBP are actually quite intelligent i am sure they will not be too confused with the idea of someone moving so just saying he moved would be sufficient! and then filing an AR-1 upon arrival to the uscis will be sufficient

thank you, i am just too paranoid that i would not get through my poe and they would send me back home.. i guess this paranoia is haunting me until i get out of the airport thank you again

No problem, you are allowed to move anytime you want. After you arrive fill out an AR-11 change of address form and mail to the address in the instructions. Google AR-11

There is no need to file a change of address.

Change of address is only for cases in process. You have no case in process right now. Your I-129F was "concluded" (as far as USCIS is concerned) when it was approved and sent to the NVC.

You will have another case in process when you file to adjust your status. At that time, report where you are living.

There is nothing for you to do other than that.

No, that's not necessary.

No, there's no case in process anymore. USCIS would not know what to do with a change of address sent under these circumstances.

[LoveLoveLove 18]

yes thats right we have no pending case bec ours have been approved, i am just concerned with the immigration process at my POE, there will be a discrepancy on the address on my DS form and on my I94 (which i am going to fill up before my POE)

Don't worry, it won't matter what you listed previously for his address. I doubt anyone will notice when your packet is opened at POE. They aren't checking for things like that. They are mostly checking to make sure that the consulate put everything in the packet they were supposed to.

thank you so much

From USCIS Website..

In addition to changing your address for a pending application the law requires that all non-U.S. citizens, except for holders of A or G visas, report a change of address within 10 days of moving by completing a USCIS Form AR-11, Change of Address.

I would definetly make sure USCIS has a correct and current address for you...

Kenny, there is no pending application. There is no reason to file a change of address.

This has been discussed at length in past threads if anyone cares to use the search function.

"Online Change of Address is a web-based tool that allows you to change your address online so that USCIS can contact you regarding your status. Customers who have filed an application or petition with USCIS but have not yet received a decision (a "pending" case) should notify USCIS of any change of address as soon as possible after moving."

When quoting something you should post the source. Context is sometimes key.

I agree with Rebecca Jo 100%. No AR-11 required.
