Preparing I-129F overseas...

[aznsamiam 0]

I'm very new to this website/forum but I'm very thankful that I've found it! It has been a great resource for me and my fiancee (i can't remember how many e's it is for a girl) and i'm preparing the I-129F petition right now. However, my situation is a little unique, as I met my fiancee while working in an international school in Korea. We are both currently working there right now, and have already informed the school of our intention of quitting at the end of the school year so that we can go to the States together.

What I have a question is about my address on the I-129F petition. Right now, I'm residing in Korea, but I plan on moving back to the States and staying with my parents (just graduated college! haven't found a career yet!) So my permanent address in the States is my parent's address in the States. What I want to know is whether the address for me (the 1st question on the form) should be my permanent address back in the States, or my current address in Korea.

I plan on sending these forms to my parents before sending it to USCIS as my parents have to include certain documents that they have right now, so technically, the petition will be mailed from my permanent address. I know my situation is a little confusing, and I want to make sure I do things right the 1st time!

and also, does D.C., in Washington D.C. count as a state ? or is it just part of the city name ? i've always been so confused on this topic, and i don't want to get in trouble with the people IN D.C. just because I don't know how to identify their city correctly !

If you're going to have everything sent to your parents address then I would use that. If you're like me you'll also attach a supplement to the I-129F explaining your dual address situation a bit. *shrug* but thats just me and I did it mostly to keep my sanity and give me some peace of mind. This is similar to my situation only I am just in Canada. On the G325a you'll probably list your korean address (when it asks for past addresses) if you have lived there for more than a year.

And D.C. does not count as a state, but its sort of a complicated city.. the DC stands for District of Columbia. I don't even get it.. hehe I don't think you should worry about that yet
