Starting K1 Process - some specific questions

[markjo 0]

Hi everyone,

My fiance Jo (US citizen) and I (New Zealand citizen) are going to be starting the K1 process soon, with Jo filing the I-129f.

I have spent a heap of time on visajourney - it is a great resource and has really helped me get my head around things........but there are a few specific questions that I would like to ask - would be great if any of you could help out.

Anyway, here is the situation. Jo and I got engaged last Christmas, when I came to the US to visit her - we met three years ago when we were both at university in Illinois, her doing her undergrad and me a MS degree, and continued dating since then. She has spent a year in NZ and I have spent some decent time in the US. I am in the US at the moment for a few weeks and in early June we are both heading off together travelling for a year - we have both been able to get working visas for a year in the UK and Ireland so are heading over there to see things and save some $$$ (and of course be together).

Here are the questions:

1. We intend on having Jo submit the I-129f in about November this year, at which time we will be in Ireland. We will send the I-129f and all accompanying info direct from Ireland to the Nebraska Service Center, but will use her home (parents') address in the US as the contact address. Is this OK by the rules?

2. Re form G-325A, residence for the last 5 years: We will have some issues in that in our time travelling we will be going from backpackers to backpackers for a couple of months - how do we deal with that - do we put no fixed abode? Or should we use our fixed residence (parent's home) in each of our countries? During the rest of the time travelling we will probabable rent a room in a flat/aprtment.

Any help/advice would be great.

Thanks!

Mark

1. Yes, that's fine.

2. When you're traveling, presumably, you still have a residence somewhere. For the USC, sounds like her parents' house. For you, wherever your mail will still be going. Your parents's house maybe? Wherever your mail goes and wherever you'd return to, use that address, it's fine. You haven't moved while you're exploring.

Good luck and enjoy your travels.
