Hi everyone,

 

I am wondering if anybody has been in a similar situation as me and my spouse. Our Physical Address is in a different state than our Mailing Address because of COVID. We were visiting my spouse's parents when both our schools went online and the whole quarantine happened, so we decided to put my In-Laws address for our Mailing Address because we didn't know when we were going to head back. Also our lease was ending soon and we were going to move to a different place so we were afraid the mail would get lost.

 

Anyway, I now know that the field office is based on the MAILING address and not physical, so our field office is going to be located where my In-Laws are. It is no trouble for us to travel back for an interview but I was wondering if having different Physical and Mailing addresses would cause any serious issues along the way. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

We are with NBC. Our Timeline: 

 

July 27th 2020 -- Case Received

August 17th 2020 -- NOA Received

August 24th 2020 -- I-693 Courtesy Letter Received

 

Our Physical Address is in Indiana. Our Mailing Address is in New York state, so the field office would be in Albany instead of Indianapolis.

Filed: AOS (pnd) Country: Kenya

I used my parents house as the address for everything and not my apartment as that's more permanent. I figured immigration processes take months and years and i'm not sure if i'll still be at this place, but i know their house is more permanent. But we're 2 minutes away from each other and not different states so i dunno...
