Hello All:

I am considering moving from Toronto to Vancouver since my husband cannot be with me during this K3 application process.

I am on maternity leave at the moment (1 year) and would prefer to spend the last days of my pregnancy in Vancouver with my family since I have no one else here in Toronto. Would this jeopardize my I130 and I129 application as I entered Toronto, Canada as the nearest consulate on the application form?

Thanks again for all your help.

Some additional information...

We received a NOA1 on the I130 and are ready to send in the I129. Since I am almost sure about this move should I just put the Vancouver address on the I129, instead of the Toronto address that I used on the I130. Would having Vancouver as the nearest consulate on the I129 and Montreal on the I130 be a problem? We were thinking about using the Toronto address on both forms to be consistent, and then change the address when I make the move a few weeks from now. What would you suggest?

I would recommend you put Vancouver on the I-129F. the process is much faster there. If you are going for a K-3, the I-130 will never be sent to the consulate anyways. They will go with the noted consulate on the I-129F. Just my 2c.
