Change of Address

[Mr Trav 15]

HELLO

I submitted the petition for my wife's spousal visa from the Philippines in Sept 2018. I moved from my old house and place of work to a new state on the other side of the US. 

 

 

We are currently at the NVC stage. All papers/docs have been uploaded to the NVC. I read that I need to update my mailing address with the government. 

 

WHO do I update with? USCIS? NVC? (if so, is over the phone best?)

 

I thought all correspondence was via email from this point on. 

 

Just do not want to lose any important letters. 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

if it is with the NVC,  then update via the ASK NVC form here:  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

 

Be sure to provide evidence of your move (utility bill, lease, anything that indicate your new official residence). 

 

You can check the timeline to email responses here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html   They only look to be a week behind. 

 

 

Good luck.

There is no need to provide evidence you live at a new address.  Yes, you can contact NVC, or just have your spouse give the new address during the interview.  They can check at POE to see if the address is correct.  Next written correspondence should be the green card, so very important.

What make me furious is this type of response, where are getting your information and why are you going people bad advice?     The NVC specifically gave me this information on how to change my address and what I need to provide to do so.  Call them, it takes 5-8 times to get in a queue  then once in the queue, allow yourself 45+ mins on hold to talk to an agent to only learn that what I wrote is the process they will convey.

What they might tell you to do, and what is "required" are often different.  Evidence of citizenship or residence is only required if the visa applicant is requesting a different Consulate.  Maybe read the anonymous quote in my signature below.
