I filed the I-129F towards the end of July and used my fiancee's address in Cambodia where she currently lives with her parents. She wants to go to Thailand and work while we wait for the NOA2 and the interview to be scheduled and I am wondering if this will cause any issues.

I'm pretty sure that when the Embassy receives her file the won't be able to mail her anything because of no real mail system where she is in Cambodia so I figured they'd call her and have her come pick it up. With her being in Thailand they'd only reach her parents.

Is any of this going to be an issue? I believe she is going to have to go to Thailand anyway to get a criminal record check since she worked there last year but I want to make sure her going back after I filed isn't going to cause delays or issues.

The US Embassy in PP will send hard copies of Packet 3 to both parties. But, if you look online at the Embassy website you can actually download all the forms & instructions there. You just have to make sure the Embassy has your case number before sending back any documents. So long as you both keep in good contact there shouldn't be any problem with notifications etc.

I was informed via email from the embassy in PP that Packet 3 will be mailed out to the "nominated mailing addres". I have no clue which they are referring to (petitioner or beneficiary). I am the petitioner and as of today it has been a week and I haven't received my packet 3 in the mail yet however I have submitted my packet 3 to them already base on the link provided in the email.

It will be interesting to know how long it will take for the actual hard copy of packet 3 to reach me in CA, USA. I assume this will be the same case when it's time for them to mail out the hard copy of Packet 4.

Yeah wish I knew too. I am thinking of changing my fiancee's mailing address with the embassy or USCIS to her cousin's in Phnom Penh since I think it would be easier for her to get the package than for them to try to send to her house. I'll also be downloading and completing Packet 3 docs beforehand so I don't have to wait for them.
