I had my immigrant CR1 visa interview yesterday at consulate in Frankfurt, Germany (DCF) and was approved. My husband is in the military and ordered to leave Germany in November. I told them that we still have no address in the US and was advised I will have to give it to agents at port of entry. The problem is, we are not allowed to look for a house until we arrive to our new duty station. I spoke with the housing office and there is no way around it so at this point I don't know what address I should give them. Has anyone gone through this and could pitch in on what to do?

I would see if there was a way to get a post office box on the base. To,have a point to start your mail and green card.

I'm sorry I can't help, but I was hoping you could answer one of my questions. We're military in Italy, filling out the I-130 petition, and I'm confused about Part 4: beneficiary's address. Obviously I put my physical address as here in Italy for #11 but we have the same problem of not knowing where we will be in the states so I don't know what to put for #12 of where we will be living! If I put 'same' to say the same as #11 then will they complain because it's not a US address??

You can give the address of a trusted relative

HI, for that address I put the military base address we are going to. If you don't have orders yet and still don't know where yall going to be stationed next, put his parents address. This address can be changed once you arrive at port of entry and then again online once you are in the states. Some people put address unknown or to be determined. You have a chance to explain this at your interview. They are used to this as they understand it is normal for military families not knowing their next address
