beneficiary change of address

[SachaAndIain 10]

I've moved house in Australia while waiting for my noa2. We were transferred on 2013.06.21, not sure where yet. The online change of address tool is for people currently in the US. You can't even enter a foreign address. How do I change my address so my consulate can contact me when they get our file?

To avoid starting a separate thread, I'm anticipating noa2 in the next few weeks. I've not understood from the guides exactly what the process is once that happens. What should we be doing right now to get ready for the next step? Should I be getting my police report or trying to book a medical? Should my fiancée and cosponsor be completing and sending i134 or other docs?

Thanks

Im trying to do the same thing actually, no idea how to do it. Im assuming we dont need to and we only need to change it at NVC stage

Hello!

I just went through this. My fiance and I both live in Ireland, and we moved after our NOA1. Once we got our NOA2, I contacted the embassy asking what to do, and they told me to contact NVC. I rang NVC, they didn't have our case yet, told me they could not change anything and I would have to call back again once they had the file in the system. I waited 6 days and called NVC again, I missed my case! It had been recieved the day after I first called, and left NVC 2 days later. So I got back onto the embassy and they told me they would update the address once they recieved it. They did not! Luckily our friends still live at our old address, so they got our Packet 3.

So, I would advise trying to catch it at the NVC. NVC recieved my case 2 weeks after my NOA2. Just keep calling every day so you don't miss it. If you're unlucky like me and you do miss it, get in contact with the embassy. Make SURE they update you address because I'm guessing you don't have someone at you old address to collect it for you! Good luck!!

Don't try to change you address with the USCIS. Wait until the NVC.

Thank you for sharing with us

Thank you thought as much!

Damn, sounds like it could be a problem. I've forwarded all my mail and I own the old place, so I could instruct my tenant to collect it if it comes by courier. What method of post did you guys get?

I'm in the same situation.

I've received my NOA2 yesterday, but my fiance (beneficiary) moved to a new apartment a few days ago.

I called USCIS and they told me that I would have to send a mail or fax in the change of address to NVC after they notify me that they've received my I-129F.

I'm afraid the same thing might happen to me where the NVC will mail out the documents to the embassy before I get a chance to send them the change of address.

Would anyone be so kind and post the customer service number for NVC?

I asked USCIS, but they "claimed" they didn't have it.

To answer my own question, if anyone needs to contact the NVC, this link contains all forms of contact (phone number, physical address, email)

Hope that helps!
