I-130 - No address in the US, what to use?

[theskeets 10]

On the form I-130, section C, we have to fill out:

18. Address in the United States where your relative intends to live.

We both live in the Netherlands. We will move to California (no address yet).

1. If we put the address in the Netherlands, will they accept it?

2. Should we put a family members US address, or will that delay the whole process?

Thanks!

If you don't have an address yet, I think you can just put your family member's. You can always change the address later, either at NVC, the US embassy interview or at POE.

The address I put on the I-130 is not the same as I put on my IR-1 visa application at NVC.

Well, where will you stay the night you arrive in Cali? If you already have plans for that (hotel, rental for a few weeks, staying with a friend), put that. If no plans, put the family member's address and then change when you figured it out. You DO need to put a US address.

Thank you Penguin and mallafri76! We'll put the family member's US address.

Husband and I had the same issue for our k1 application, we didn't have any relatives address to put either. We just put the city and state we intended to live in and included his employers offer letter as proof of intent to recommence residency in the U.S. Which showed that was the city he was going to working in. Once he moved there and got a place he changed his address with them.
