completing I-130 and G-325A

[kg8183 1]

Hi,

It was brought to my attention that 1) on I-130, one can put the mailing address of the beneficiary even if it is different from the place where the beneficiary currently lives. Moreover, 2) the address on I-130 (not G-325A) is the one used for mailing documents to beneficiary. However, on G-325a, the beneficiary must put the address(es) where he/she actually lives/has lived. And that 4) it is perfectly fine that the address on I-130 is different from the most recent address on G-325a.

Could you please give me your valued opinion about the subject.

Thank you very much in advance.

I put a mailing address for both the I130 and the G325A. I did not live at the address listed but was able to receive mail there (not that it mattered, the beneficiary doesn't receive mail)

Good luck

Thank you.

My husband went ahead and ordered a Police Certificate just to check which address shows on it. And the certificate states that he is residing at his mailing address and not the one(s) that he has lived in for the last ~1.5 years. Well, he works and lives in a different town, and my main concern is that if I put his mailing address on G-325A as if it is his residence address, it may raise an issue with the officer reviewing the case when the work address and residence address are in 2 different towns. Is this a valid point or am I thinking about too much?

That plan will work just fine. The addresses need not match.

The beneficiary most definitely DOES receive mail during the spouse visa process but it would be from NVC and the Consulate, not USCIS. NVC will mail the choice of agent form to the address on the petition. The Consulate will mail any correspondence to that same address or any updated address they receive.

Well, as of 2010 when we petitioned, NVC only sent e-mails, not snail mail anymore. I never received anything from NVC or the consulate

That's only for a few countries and then only when they HAVE an email address to use. This beneficiary will receive mail from NVC and the Consulate.
