Changing Beneficiary Address during process

[HandN 2]

Hello fellow VJ'rs,

Subject: Changing Beneficiary Address for K visa (Foreign Fiancee address change)

I have found a few posts on here about this topic and wanted to post this experience for additional information of how it worked for me as most are worried about the mailed packages going to the wrong address of the beneficiary. (Typically can additionally download the packages from the corresponding consulate website) It is still something we want corrected for multiple reasons.

I can not speak for other ways to do this but this was EXTREMELY simple for me, and timing was the key. From research that others have tried, this was My steps.

step 1: On notification of NOA2, I called the NVC at 603-334-0700. This is usually a busy signal and once in phone system plan for a hold.

Step 2: Once on phone with someone, Provide your USCIS Receipt number (found on NOA1/NOA2), Beneficiary's Name and Birth Date, and Petitioners Name and Birth date.

Step 3: Explain what you want to do. (Change Beneficiary address.) and give them the new address.

Done…. and simple

Now some notes-

The first time I called it was too soon from approval of NOA2 and my documents were not in the NVC system, so I was told to call back in a few days. The friendly operator explained to me that this usually takes a week from NOA2 notification.

She also explained that since it was a K visa the processing of my petition does not stay at NVC long before being transferred onto the Beneficiary country. (as little as a week, but could be longer) SEE GUIDES for estimated durations. So timing is the key for this method.

Additionally, I also corrected my address at the same time, just giving it to her over the phone. so simple. (my local government changed my street address from "xxxx Street" to "xxxx Ave")

Hope this helps others!
