Address used for K-1 application

[reddevils4evr 4]

I recently moved to California and am renting an apartment here. I am the petitioner in my K-1 application and have listed my CA address. But, I moved from Boston, MA and my checks still have my old address printed on there. Does anyone know if that difference will matter? Will they still send my application to the CSC (trying to avoid TSC based on the backlogs reported!)? Thanks for the help, I am hoping to submit my application in the next day or so and want to make sure I leave no stone unturned to ensure a quick process!

For precise language purposes, it's an I-129F petition rather than a K-1 visa application.

They'll slam your check into their bank so fast that addresses won't matter.

Your petition will go from the Texas Lockbox to whichever center is more prepared to handle it. Let's hope that it's the CSC.

Interesting that, back when, my I-129F petition went to the CSC, which was slower than molasses and proved it. The ROC papers went to the VSC, which by then was slower than molasses but surprised us. This stuff builds character, remember.

In theory it might have something to do with the service centers' workloads, but in practice that is not the case. The petition will get sent to the center assigned to your state of residence, which in this case (as far as I can tell) would be California, and so CSC.

I don't think anybody knows whether they take your address from the I-129F or the G-325A, but either way, it does not come from the check you send.

Yes it will go to CSC.

What is the CSC?

You guys use so many acronyms here I can barely read most of the replies....

California service center. The other one for K1 applications is TSC (texas) which is notoriously slow.
