Hi everyone! My name is Yuuka. My fiance and I got engaged and applied for K-1 visa. We sent our package to USCIS on October 6th and got our NOA1 on October 18th and figured it was sent to Vermont service center! My fiance is the US citizen and in Air Force and currently living in Misawa, Japan but he's leaving here on January 22 for his next base, Fort Worth, Texas. We already filed it but now I found some posts saying filling overseas adress is not prefered and you should put your family's address in the states. He put his base mailing address for his adress and he is going to call USCIS for changing his overseas address to his new texas address when he gets there in Jan. Do you think this will be a pain like deny or something like that? Or putting his overseas adress and changing it to his new address when he gets there are totally fine to do? For my intending address in the states, we put the address of Fort worth base. Is this fine too?

and When i was in the states, I got a under age drinking ticket once. will this be a reson to get our package denied?

and we cannot expedite since he's going back to the states right? Expediting only works for people who goes to overseas from the states. Is this correct?

I am very good at worrying like crazy so... I could not help myself asking you guys... Hope someone can give me answers and advice.

Thank you :)

i never heard about expediting in fiance visa but you never know... changing base address is not going to be a problem as long he has a order form stating that ft.worth is his next base ... call uscis to update his status...

Expediting mostly works for military members when there is deployment is involved. So you CAN try,you're entitled to it, but dont get your hopes up. As far as the address goes, he can all USCIS and change the address.My now husband was stationed in Okinawa when we filed and he used his base address too. It just took a lot longer for noa 1 and 2 to get there and noa 2 got lost a couple times. It's best to change the address a couple of weeks in advance so if they have already sent you noa 2 or rfe he will be able to get it.

Ps. Make sure he calls the military number. They are way better than regular uscis

Ah Thank you guys for the replies! It made me feel a lot better but I still am concerned about my future address.

We put his next base in Texas for my future address because we thought we would not get our NOA2 by he leaves here which is on January 22. Do you think that's fine to do? but we didn't put his order in our package. I'm guessing we should have done it??? And we're currently thinking to call military help line this weekend. But here's a problem. That is a deployment to go to Fort Worth, Texas but how can we expedite our case? If he is now in the states and going to Afgan or somewhere in a few months for a year then things would be different but how could we? If we expedite our case, it would be just awesome! cuz the waiting is so hard even though I know Love is patient. Even though he leaves here in Jan, I cannot leave here till March 1st due to my school. It would be nice if I can go to the states to see the love of my life right after my graduation.

thank you for helping us!<3

Ok look I'm making a cross country move in January, and I'm changing my address on file to my mother in law's because I need to have someone to hold on to it. That's the problem. Will anyone be able to hold on to his mail before he gets to Fort Worth ? In case things get lost uscis does resend noa 2s and RFEs as long as you KNOW you got one and you call them and explain yours got misplaced. As far as the request for expedite goes, you type out the letter that I'm pretty sure you could find under " military expedite request for I-129f ", he signs it, attaches his orders and adds a copy of his noa 1 and mails off to the service center, some people like to fax it too.as far as what is in the book with the specific definition of deployment goes, it's deployment to a war zone that makes expedites really easy, but if the word " deployment " is mentioned in his orders go ahead and give it a try.

As far as the wait goes, don't even worry about it. By the time you get done with your interview you're going to laugh at yourself for being so stressed. I know it's hard to believe but k-1 is as black and white as people make it sound like and it is as easy if you go on by the guides of visa journey

Okay well I'm guessing his addresses for both his current japanese base(mailing) and residential adress? are fine. He's going to call USCIS for changing the address about 2 weeks before he leaves here if that's fine. We're gonna call Military help line this weekend and ask them if that's fine to put his japanese base PO address for residential and mailing address. What I'm really concerned about is the address where I intend to live in the states. Like I said before, we put his new base address which is in Fort worth texas(It's the base address, no street and blah). We didn't put his order so I don't know if they would figure out that he's going to be deployed there.

And I'm thinking about trying to expedite our case whether it works for us or not, but if it didn't work then, it would be a reason or something like that to our case to get denied or something?

I wish I could marry him now here in Japan but I still am stuck in high school sadly. I went to the states as a rotary exchange student for about a year. even though i did my senior year, i had to re-do my senior year back in japan so im stuck in school... so sad! cuz i was supposed to graduate last march! well anyways it's what it is.

ahh I'm so scared! I should not think it might be denied or something so negative since we truly love each other and have tons of evidence since we had seen each other almost every weekend since we met for the first time. I'm glad I found him 1 year ago here in Japan! So we could get to know each other further more.

Umm no, you get expedited when the armed forces partner is getting deployed, regardless of your visa , green card or citizenship status, because you will be left in the states alone.you won't be able to go to the war zone but that's not why or how expediting works.

No, denied expedition doesn't mean denied case. And why are you so set on finishing high school in Japan when you have done your senior year in the states and go to college here? You won't be denied. Your case is completely easy and straight forward. Trust me, I have seen some twisted cases with red flags and overstays with people from high fraud countries that got accepted. Yours is nothing.

I guess I'm misunderstanding what a deployment is??lol I'm not trying to go to war zone and my fiance(air force) is not going to war zone either. Just his next base is Fort worth, texas which people get jealous cuz the base is easy and not trying to make people work like crazy here in misawa. Is deployment going to war zone thingy? or just next base order? I would not be alone in the states since my fiance is gonna be there. I'll be alone here in japan for a few months(hopefully!) till I leave here for my man. And I don't know how to call you, should i call you that girl2? but anyways, thank you! You made me feel so much better:)

The next base order is getting relocated. A deployment is when someone goes to war.well you see being alone while your partner is oversees or being in different states is a part of this life style.how it goes, is your fiancée leaves for Texas, you get your visa paperwork and interview all out of the way, you fly to Texas, you get married, then he gets deployed to a war zone, the real deployment, for real. Now if the us citizen is getting deployed, you can expedite and it will 99.99% get approved. From the looks of it you be eligible for expedite for your green card after you come to the states. Fort Worth is a regular old army base. The reason people get jealous, IF they do, is because there is an air man getting stationed in an army base. Don't worry. And if you had any questions feel free to ask others here or if you need emotional support message me , I know my immigration knowledge isn't complete , so it's better if you ask others and make sure as well.
