Living overseas...what is my address for filing?

[shannoninhaiti 0]

Hey all! Have a question... I live in Haiti with my spouse and am filing for a CR-1 visa. I am not doing Direct Consular Filing and we plan to move to the US after approval. I have an address in FL that I use that ships me mail every other week to Haiti. Should I use that as my address? It won't be the address that we reside at after we are approved though as we are waiting until closer to approval to secure a permanent house in the states.

Should I explain that on the cover letter? And will that address suffice?

Thanks!

Haiti is your address.

But we don't have an address in Haiti that is deliverable for mail....it has no number or street name, literally just the area of the town...should I still put that?

How does your FL mail get forwarded to Haiti?

via a flight service. They send a little plane in every 2 weeks with mail. I'm nervous to put our Haiti "address" on there because if they do mail stuff to us we will probably never get it as Haiti doesn't have a mail service and we live 5 hours from the capital. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I didn't say there was not a post office, I said that our address, because it is outside of PAP in a rural area, isn't deliverable for mail. We live about 5 hours outside of PAP and no post office near us so I was interested to see if our FL address that gets delivered biweekly locally would suffice.

Ok you'll be fine just get a box in the city give them your contact # and they will call you every week to pick up your mail if any...make sure you tip whoever you ask for that service. Before you mail out your app. make sure you add form G-1145 with your I130 for email/text message alert on your case. I didnt receive anything by mail from them only the hard copies as for NVC's strictly email. Good luck!!

Costa Rica has bad mail service as well, no street names, etc. I used my CR "address" because it used to be that filers from abroad were approved faster. I think that it doesn't work like that anymore but who knows.

Addresses in CR are like this "100 mts west of the Pharmacy, house on the left, black shingles" And that's what I wrote down!

If you used your Haiti address just make sure you make NO MISTAKES. If you get an RFE they are mailed to you, not through email. So don't make any mistakes and use your Haiti address and hope for quicker approval

Best wishes!

I thought I read somewhere that you (petitioner) have to be living in the USA to apply for a K1 or a marriage visa. Maybe I'm wrong. I'd research that before you apply.
