Hi!

I might get an offer for a job that's only 6 months and I would have to stay in this other state 4-3 days a week, be home/work remote the rest of the week. It's a top company, otherwise I wouldn't consider so much travel XD

 

I want to make sure that I do not have to change my address with USCIS. I'm not going to rent a long term place there, though I'll have to pay taxes in the other state for the days I'm there, etc. I don't want to change my address because this would be 6 months and I'm able to file for citizenship August of the next year (so it would delay for me if I had to change my address).

 

Thoughts?

Thanks 

PS: I hate the address change the most so I can't wait for USC so I don't have to do that again.

Six months isn't permanent.  As long as mail sent to your existing address would be held by the Post Office or picked up reliably by someone during the days you're away, I would view this as similar to the situation of a college student who studies/works out of state but has a permanent address elsewhere, such as a parent's home.

 

Good luck regarding the job offer, if it's something you want!

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Thank you! This helps. I would still keep my current address where all of my mail goes. And I also have an ID for this state.
