Residency Question

[HansChristian38 0]

Greetings,

I am currently preparing the I-129F package to obtain a K-1 Visa for my fiancé and I have a question about residency. I'm an American citizen currently living and working in China (3+ years). She is Ukrainian. I will be in China for 1-3 more months (3 is the maximum) and then I will move back to the US. I would however like to get this process started now. The issue is I don't have a "domicile" in the US currently. So I don't know what address to put in Part B item 14: "Address in the United States where your fiancé(e) intends to live."

Of all the answers I have found most said they used their Mom's address which for me has been my mailing/tax filing address since living abroad, however we do not intend to move to that city or state. Most replies also say to just amend the address later. Looking at the timeline, prior to receiving the 2nd NOA I will have ample proof of a US domicile. Including written confirmation from my company of my job/salary in the US, bank accounts and a permanent address. Except for the permanent address I have the other proof now.

My questions are for the I-129F:

1. Can I just use my Mom's address for item 14 and amend it later?

2. Should I spell out my situation in the petition cover letter? I.E. Living in China, no current US perm address (only mailing), moving to US shortly, will amend address etc....

3. Is there some other path I should take? Will this just complicate things? I really don't want to waste any more time then I have to given the overall waiting times.

Thank you!

1. Yes

2. You can briefly mention it but they will figure it out anyway from your work details etc.
