Does anybody have experience regarding moving after NOA1 stage?

For starters, I'm Turkish American and my wife is from Belarus. We got married in summer 2010 in U.S. We decided not to stay away from each other and moved to Turkey where we can live together back in September 2010. We started our IR-1 procedure in April this year after realizing that we should have done this earlier. But anyways, April 11 was the date that we got the NOA1. It's been over 5 months now and we are still waiting for NOA2. Now, here's the thing. My father-in-law is asking us to help him out with the grocery store that he will be opening in Belarus. Although we told the officials that we are living in Turkey and requested Ankara as our interview post, now I don't know if moving again would create a problem. In general, I see that the USC remains in US and the spouse takes care of the needed stuff from overseas. I already moved to Turkey and we've been here almost 3 years. Now thinking about another move??

About the domicile, I kept paying my school bills in U.S and kept my accounts open. I have a job offer for both myself and for my wife for the next summer from my boss that I worked over 7 years. When it comes to AOS, my boss will help us out.

So at this stage, I'm concerned about moving again. Anybody has any experience or suggestions?

Thank you for your time

You don;t have NOA2 yet, so the case is not at an embassy yet. Changing the embassy where the interview will be at should not be a problem.

Thank you for your time

its a total non issue

where did your noa1 go ?? to the states.. if it went to you there, which I see few to none going to out of the country addresses

either way.. once you get to the nvc, it is easy to change by email.. just about everything is

Thanks to both.. Stevie I didn't get what you wanted to say, " if it went to you there, which I see few to none going to out of the country addresses".

I sent to U.S yes but we both live in Turkey for the moment and planning on moving to Belarus.

It shouldn't pose a big problem, but it could create some confusion that you'd have to clear up. My husband, the USC, and I met and married in Canada, where we lived for years. He got a job offer in the US, we filed the I-130, received NOA1, then he moved to the US to start work, while I stayed in Canada. When he moved, he notified USCIS, and also informed them of my new address, since I moved to a smaller place after he left.

What happened after that is that, when USCIS approved our petition a couple of months later, they misunderstood and thought I had come to the US with my husband. So they sent our petition to the wrong place, and my husband had to meet with them and get it all straightened out. Also, they kept sending stuff to our old address in Canada, even though we had told them I had moved.

I realize your situation is a bit different. But my point is, from my experience, USCIS is not great at keeping track of address changes. So just make sure you have a way to collect any mail they might send to your old address, and make sure to double-check that they get your information right. Good luck!

Thanks for the heads up kitchen princess. Unfortunately, when we move out from our rental place I will have no access to the mail anymore. Before I specifically told the officials to sent the NOA1 to my P.O Box address in Turkey but they sent the it to home address anyways. But yes I will try my best to chance it via email, phone, best way I can.. Thank you.
