Hi there! My fiance and I have been living in Japan for about 2 years now. My fiance is a US citizen and I'm Australian. We're in the process of filling out the I-129f right now and we've bumped into something that may prove problematic later on.

First of all, we are due to leave Japan in about 6 months. We've indicated in the forms that our current residential address are in Japan (because they are), but will this be a problem later on once it is (hopefully!) approved? We are applying to have my interview at an Australian consulate, but by the time I have an interview there my residential address will have changed. Will this affect anything?

You can do that but will have to send notification to USCIS of your change address.

Secondly, how do they decide which service center to send our application to?

ALL K-1 petitions are sent to TX first; just as the instructions state.

Things look like they'll be a bit bleak right now if our application is sent to the Texas service center. We have to go back to our home countries in 6 months after having spent basically every day together. We really want to minimise the amount of time spent apart, especially since the time difference is brutal.

It is what it is. Nothing you can do.

Thirdly, is it possible to get my police checks and medical done before the petition is approved? I ask simply because it takes a while to get a Japanese police certificate and I think I'd need to get it translated. I'd also need to get an Australian police cert. I'm worried about things timing-wise.

Police certs are good for one year, so get those going but wait until you have NOA2 for the medical. Follow the process.

Thanks in advance!

You pretty much have everything answered here, I just want to add that which service will deal with you papers is not always based on where you live. I live in NJ and was hoping I dont get sent to Texas and I didn't. My papers are in California (NJ falls into Texas category)
