So I'm a newbie to VJ and to forums in general so any help with either would be appreciated! I live in Canada and my fiance lives in Alaska...thing is, we don't plan on living in Alaska. So when filling out the I-129F form, what the heck do we put as the address where the fiance intends to live?! I'm so excited to get our process started but there is so much info to take in it is a bit overwhelming! But this seems like a great site to get all the best info so any little bit will help! Thanks!

If you moved today, where would you live? Put that address. It is not written in stone. USCIS knows that plans change and you can update them accordingly when the time comes.

Good luck - this process can be terrible at times. We are here to support you.

Where in Canada do you live? Only 2 consulates do K visas, Montreal and Vancouver and it will depend on where you live as to which consulate you will be assigned to

Good to know, thanks.

Yeah, there are so many different stories from people on here so we're not really sure what to expect. Thanks for the support :)

I live in Calgary so assume I will be going to the Vancouver consulate.
