Hello VJ community!

My wife (an Australia citizen) and myself (US Citizen) are 7 months wait into our I-130.

We both live in Australia and recently moved to a new home here. I wanted to change our address but there is no option for changing an overseas address on the USCIS website. We spoke to the USCIS and they told us they were unable to change the address associated with our pending application and that we needed to contact the Sydney Consulate. There is no contact number for the consulate so we had to send them an email.

The consulate just responded via text that they are not able to change the address associated with our application and to contact the USCIS.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Any guidance on who we should speak to would be much appreciated.

I guess I should also ask if it's normal that we recieved our NOA1 April 30th and haven't heard anything since?

Tier one told me the exact same thing, but I insisted on speaking to tier 2. They were able to change my mailing address to a USA address. This may not work out in your case, but worth a shot.

As for not hearing anything since April 30, that is very normal. April files are just starting to be moved for processing. Your transfer is probably coming up in a week or two, followed by 1-2 month long wait for NOA2.

07/29/2014 - NOA1

11/19/2014 - Transfer to TSC

12/19/2014 - NOA2

01/15/2014 - NVC Received (TSC held it for 3 weeks...)

02/19/2014 - Case no. and IIN assigned; requested embassy change

02/27/2014 - DS-261 available and submitted

02/28/2014 - AOS available and paid

03/19/2014 - AOS mailed

03/27/2014 - AOS entered into system

03/24/2014 - New case no. assigned

03/25/2014 - IV fee invoiced and paid

03/28/2014 - IV package sent via FedEx

04/26/2014 - case complete

Alright thanks for the tip, we will give the tier 2 option a go. I hope it doesn't make a huge difference that it's an overseas. It'd just be a pain to wait this long and get all our information sent to the wrong address.
