Keep using current address or new address (home will be finalized in a couple of weeks)

Wanted to get opinions on my address situation.

My fiancee and I are currently filling out the DS-160 form for the K1 visa. Her medical examination is scheduled for early October.

I'm living at my parent's home (this is my official registered address for passport, drivers license, etc.) but am closing on a house at the end of this month and will move out then.

All of my fiancee's documents up to this point have my current address.

We're filling out the DS-160 right now and we've used my current address as well.

I'm thinking about 3 weeks from now when I'll be living in my new house/address and all the headaches involved with the whole address issue.

As the timing for everything is coming up so quickly, would it be better off to continue to use my current address going forward?

Or do I have to notify USCIS of my address change and change everything accordingly ( fiancee's documents, medical exam) once I've closed on my new home?

Your US passport doesn't have an address on it, other than the one you can write in pencil, so not sure what you meant by that. Regardless, I'd keep using your parents' address for the DS-160. You physically live there now. You don't know if mail to your new house may get delayed, and you don't want to lose any immigration paperwork. Yes, you will eventually need to do a change of address with USCIS, which you can do online. All permanent residents are required to notify USCIS when their address changes.

Sorry, not passport. That was my mistake.

Even after I move into my new home, was wondering if it's okay to use my parent's address?

If I had just submitted the I-129F packet and was waiting around for an approval, I feel it wouldn't be a big deal because there are no other documents that need the address changed.

But now an address change in this stage of the K1 process seems like a big mess.

Even if I fill out the DS-160 using my current address (parents house), my fiancee is going to have a dilemma when she goes to the medical exam and has to decide whether to use my current address or my new home address.

Not to mention the bank statements (I-134 evidence) will have my old address.

If you can receive mail there -- i would still use your old(current) address. Much safer and since your documents show old address - you still official resident of that address.

Plus, you did not close on the new house yet, so technically it is not yours at the moment.

My worry is when the end of this month rolls by and I'll have moved into my new house (haha, I should be happy I'm moving to my new house but instead I sit here worrying).

Should my fiancee's medical exam have my current address or my future home address?

Should I continue to use my current address or future home address?

The DS-160 and I-134 support documents will all have my old address.

Why not use the old address?

You can live in 2 places at once... so assume you live 10% of the time at old address and 90% at new address -- so old address is still your address.

Until you finish the K1 visa process, use the old address.

Wasn't sure if this would be a problem or not.

Thank you my friend.
