hello, i have a few questions regarding the I-129F, and the G325A.... I am in the United States Air Force, and i am currently stationed in Korea... But i will leave here to go back to the US on Aug 05... Now my questions... On the I-129F, I put my local address in Korea... will this be ok? Im thinking about writing a letter to be included with package, stating that i am in the military and that i am in Korea and i will be leaving here August 05... And asking them to send all responses to my mothers home address... Would this go over alright? Also there is a question asking where my fiancee will be staying in the USA... Im also thinking of putting my mothers address here to... I know there is a section about being in the military Overseas on the I-129F and it asks my current address overseas, So should i put my mothers address as my primary Address at the top of the form??? I really love this girl, and i would like the package to be approved before i have to deploy to Iraq.... Thank you very much to anyone who has any advice...

don't put local address, they only want a US address so your mother's would be perfect. Depending on wether she lives then you will use the US Service center that belongs to that state to file for I 129f.

....don't put your local address at the top of the form cause uscis will only ship notices to us addresses so your mother address is fine also for when your fiance will be in the states.

Also if you are pending deployment get your company commander (or whatever the name is, lol) to put a letter for you to send (and take copy of it, and everything else, for your records!) about the pending deployment - this is one of the few reasons an application can be expidiated.

*pending deployment AFTER return to US, not from current to US

If you know that you're going to be deployed to Iraq, you can get your commander to write a letter to that effect and include that in your I-129F packet. Be sure in your cover letter to explain the situation and to request that the petition be expedited. Also write "Expedited Petition Request - To be deployed military" on the outside of your envelope.

Also agree with others, your permanent address should be your mother's. Get all your correspondence sent there..

Or there is an even better idea... Can you marry your fiancee now. If so, you can file an I-130 at the USCIS office in Seoul. Once approved, your wife will have her interview at the US Consulate in Seoul for a CR-1 Immigrant visa. A much better option IMHO... Go to the DCF fourm for more information. There have been a lot of service members who have done this very option...

Crazy!

I've been waiting to see something like that happen here.

Cool. :)

btw, Matt, the idea about getting married and filing locally via "DCF" (you actually file at USCIS Seoul) is a reliable and much faster way to get through this.

Just put your current address. When you move, your mail will get forwarded to your new address and then just call the Service center to update your address. Unless you want to keep having to bug your mom for all your mail and hope that she included everything.

Ok,....speaking from personal experience. I would put your Mothers address. Thats what we did. My hubby is military as well. Just found that one point of contact was much easier, and less chance of USCIS paperwork getting lost. We simply got his Mom to open relevant USCIS mail, let us know what was in it, then forward it to us registered mail if necessary. We currently live in Germany under orders, and still use his mothers address whilst currently doing Lifting of Conditions.

It's not as hard as it seems, its only as hard as you wanna make it!!

Good luck with it all
