how to change address of relative in I 130

[Franci-David 0]

my sister is a us citizen and is filing for an I 130 for me and my son, i live in germany, do we need to change the address in the I 130 if we move within germany? can anyone help? i have tried alrady to change the address online, but it looks like you can only change the address of the petitioner and not of the relative you are filing for...is that correct?

The I-130 is principally used to establish a relationship between, in this case, you and the petitioner. In doing so, it gives the green light to go ahead with the full immigrant visa process. When the petition is approved, they're going to send that approval to the National Visa Center. They'll also send and approval notice and other documents to the petitioner. At that time, it's important that the petitioner get the address' right (yours and his/hers). The easiest way to do this is to call the 1-800- number. You can do it now... the petitioner would call USCIS. Or you can do it later, and you or the petitioner would call NVC.

BTW, there's also a change of address form on-line that can be used... go to the USCIS website or NVC website. Whichever is relevant.
