POE not in the state of petitioner original address

[disteph 9]

Hi everyone,

My fiance just got news that he probably move to the another state in next 3 months regarding his job. Anyway, do i have to come to the same state we addressed when we fill in the K1 visa for POE or that could be any states?

Thank you!

You can enter at any POE in the U.S. It doesn't matter where the petitioner once lived, now lives or where you will live in the future.

It does not matter if you end up living in a different state than what was listed on your petition. USCIS understands that people do move houses, switch jobs, etc.

Since you received your NOA1 just recently, if your fiance moves while your case is being reviewed, he should inform USCIS of his change of address here: https://egov.uscis.gov/coa/displayCOAForm.do so that he will receive any written communication from them (e.g. RFEs, NOA2, etc).

It doesn't matter. Like Minnesota doesn't have POE, so I need to fly into Chicago POE before flying to Minnesota. Not every state has POE

The POE is as the name states--it is the place where you first enter the US. As the poster below notes, they cannot enter at MSP as there are no flights from their country to MSP. KLM does have flights from Amsterdam to MSP and then MSP would be the POE. We are lucky that Lufthansa has a direct flight from Frankfurt to Denver, so Denver is our POE when traveling to visit the wife's family. Accept for the last time we used KLM and we landed at MSP in Minneapolis before flying on to Denver, so MSP was our POE for that trip.

The USCIS does not care what address is put on the forms--YOU DO. They will not allow the USPS to forward any mailing from them, so your address needs to be correct during all phases of this journey. There is also the requirement to inform them of a move by the foreign spouse by using the AR-11 form. Once the USC has filed the I-864 form for your adjustment of status (AOS), the USC must inform the USCIS of address changes using the I-865 form. If your fiancé has received the NOA2 and you are into the interview stage at the Embassy/Consulate then their is no need to update the petitioner's address. If he moved before the petition is approved then he needs to inform the USCIS, plus I would have someone get the mail at the old address and send the NOA2 to him as it will have your A# on it. All of the change of address requirements usually happen after the beneficiary arrives in the US. All you need to do is put the most current address on the AOS form when you file it.

No entirely true as we entered the US at MSP so it was our POE. MPS does not have a direct flight from your home country so it is not your POE, that is why ORD is. The POE is dictated mostly by the airlines and what routes are available.

Good luck,

Dave

His parents still live at the same address when he leave so it won't be a problem about sending mail to his new place. Thank you for the info

Thanks everyone!
