Petitioner Change of Address with USCIS from abroad to US

I am the USC and have lived with my Argentine husband in Argentina for the last 3 years, married last month. I am preparing our I-130 package to send ASAP. I've been offered a job in the States that begins in August.

At the time of filing, my husband and I will both have an Argentine address. Four weeks later, he will move to another apartment here, and I will move to the US. To keep mailing simple, and since I'll be there so soon, my father will be my US point of contact. He will add the payment to my package and send it on to the Chicago Lockbox.

A lawyer advised me to file to Chicago (the correct lockbox for petitions filed from abroad) and include a note for USCIS to use my father's address as my US domicile for the next month before I physically arrive. My USPS address change to that domicile is part of our I-130 package. (I have otherwise maintained bank accounts/taxes/permanent address in the US.)

My question to the VisaJourney community: is this okay? Can I specifically mention my father or just direct them to the address? Should I list the Argentine addresses on the actual forms and just include an extra attachment with the pending change? I'm not doubting the lawyer -- I'm just interested in hearing from people who have faced this issue personally.

Also, I've been reading on these forums to answer another question, but with no luck. Once I move, I need to change our addresses with USCIS, but the website will allow only US>US address changes. I understand that I will need to call them, but I'd like to minimize the confusion and do this correctly the first time. What is the best way to handle a petitioner move to the US between NOA1 and NOA2?

Thanks! :)
