I'll be changing addresses during Visa Process?

[Jon9205 1]

I will be leaving my apartment in the next few months. I read that you can't change addresses during the K-1 process which seems pretty extreme but this was emphasized in a NOLA Fiance Visa ebook. I don't want to wait until my lease ends to file because that will be at the end of January. I can't imagine that it will be too difficult to notify someone and get my change of address registered in the system. Anyone have any experience or knowledge on this topic? Thanks VJ!

if in doubt, you can always call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283

I dont know what this NOLA guide is but I'm pretty sure you're allowed to change/update your address as long as your k1 petition is still pending.

So throw out the NOLA fiancee visa book

Send form AR-11 stating you are a petitioner. Do it as soon as possible as it takes time to get the address updated. You absolutely CAN move during the process. Suggesting you have to surrender some of your rights as an American to get an approved petition is stupid.

It is great if you do not have to move, but you certainly can. USCIS will not forward mail, they need to change the address in their records.
