change of address for the beneficiary

[Julie+Matt 84]

Okay, I've looked and I know I can call them…but is there any other option? My fiancé has moved (he lives in england) & when I go to the change of address tool online, it has states and zip codes and says something about him residing in the US. But he's not in the US yet. I know I need to change his address for after we get the NOA2. If I have to call them, I will…but I'd rather not (I hate the phone). Am I looking at something wrong? If anyone has any advice, please let me know.

Hey, I believe the only option you have is calling USCIS nothing else you can do. What if it gets to NVC and NVC shipps it back to USCIS and it just causes an extra delay in your petition.

My fiance (I'm the beneficiary) had to submit a letter stating that he needed to change my address from XXX to XXX, and he had to provide some sort of evidence that I had changed my address (sent a copy of my recent dentist appointment that had my new address). They accepted this.. However, we have now received our NOA2 and I need to change my address again.. they have told us to wait for NOA2 to confirm which address I will need to send the change to - For me, this will affect which Canadian Embassy I will have to travel to for my interview.

Hope this helps!

I'm the beneficiary too and i got the NOA2 from USCIS and our case should go to NVC soon i guess, and i might need to move after 3 months, what should i do too ?

You still have your current address right now though? There won't be any problems. If it gets shipped to NVC, then it is no longer USCIS responsibilty. Supposely, the process at NVC is much faster. From there, it gets shipped to the U.S Embassy in beneficiary's country. So, probably at the interview stage, when the US Citizen send you the package 3(if it applies to you)then you put your new address if by then you moved. But, if you move after the interview then it won't really matter because you will move to USA. Lol!!!

I've seen that he can just tell his embassy after we get the noa2. Is that correct? I figure it's still a few weeks out...we just got transferred. So, if not I'll call the uscis after my visit to England ( I'll be in the air in 24 hours, & in his arms in 32!!!)

Julie--

A change of address isn't vital for him. From the K1 London guide--

Your case arrives in London. The embassy will send the beneficiary a letter of instruction. Its not a packet, but just a letter that essentially says We have your approved petition from the NVC and we're ready for you to begin submitting your forms and have your medical. The letter has a link to the embassy website where you will find forms and instructions.

(This next part is for you Julie because he won't get a letter. But he doesn't need the actual letter for anything. He just needs to Know London has his file)

Shortcut for those who cant wait for their letter: If you have obtained your LND number, you can enter it in the CEAC Visa Status Check site,. Choose immigrant in the drop down. Include the letters LND with your number. The important thing here is to forget the text at the bottom about scheduling interviews or anything like that the Embassy does that for you once you've sent everything in. There are two main statuses at this point:

In Transit This one means your case is on its way from the NVC to London.

Ready This one means London has your casefile and is waiting to receive something needed to progress your case. You may begin submitting forms and booking the medical.

He will fill out his DS-160 with the new address and that is where his interview letter will go. He will also sign up for the courier delivery of his visa putting any address he wishes. They will not use the address from the petition.

Nich-Nack,

Thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense. We were planning on getting the LND number online anyway and not even bothering with the first letter. I was just worried about the interview letter. But if that can all be changed online, then we're golden. Again, thank you!

Nich-Nick...you are awesome in your posts... I've got few of your posts saved for my future processing.

Thank you.
