Can I file for K1 (Fiance Visa) as petioner without residential address in the US?

[LarryT 0]

I am a U.S. citizen currently traveling abroad and domestically for a few months. Although I don't have a fixed U.S. address at the moment, I meet all financial requirements for sponsoring my fiance. My long-term plan is to establish a permanent residence in the United States before getting married. However, I would like to petition for my fiance to join me in the United States  with the intention of settling down together. Can I do that?

You can file I-130 right after marriage. 

You'd need to use a good fixed mailing address not to miss any notices. Could be your parents' or siblings' address.

 

However, after I-130 after approved, during the visa stage, you should be able to demonstrate domicile in the US. You need to have a firm address at that time. So realistically, you should have firm address within 6-12 months after filing I-130.

 

Good luck!

Yes, but why would you?  CR-1 makes WAY more sense in your situation.
