K-1 Visa Military

[Marvin Maricel 0]

Im in military and I live on military base at the barracks, my fiancee and I going to apply for k-1 visa, as I look at form I-129f and g-325a…

Form I-129F

Part A. Question # 2 I put my military address

Part B. Question # 14 address in the US where my fiancee intends to live I can’t put my military address because she can’t stay to the barracks. Now I’m thinking about to put my parents address in Arizona on Question # 14, can I put my parents address on Part A. Question # 2?

Part C. Question # 1 if you are serving overseas in the armed forces in the United States please answer the following: I presently reside or am stationed overseas and my current mailing address is:

I am not serving overseas I am stationed in san diego California can I still put PO Box as my mailing address on that question?

Form G-325A

Applicant’s residence last five years. List present address first.

If I put my parents address in Arizona on form I-129F questions # 2 and # 14, should I put my parents address as my present address on form G-325A? Or should I put my military address as my present address even though I put my parents address on form I-129F Questions # 2 and # 14?

Very respectful

There may be others that are better equipped to help you answer these questions.. But I want to make sure you are aware of the USCIS Help Line..

See below:

Members of the U.S. military and their families stationed around the world are now able to call U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for help with immigration services and benefits using a dedicated, toll-free telephone help line, 1-877-CIS-4MIL (1-877-247-4645).

On our forms, my husband used his mother's address for everything. Even after his deployment ended, it was easier and safer that way.

Hope this helps!

Form I-129F

Part A. Question # 2 I put my military address

Ok

Part B. Question # 14 address in the US where my fiancee intends to live I can't put my military address because she can't stay to the barracks. Now I'm thinking about to put my parents address in Arizona on Question # 14, can I put my parents address on Part A. Question # 2?

Where is she going to stay? at your parents? if not, you can put TBD and make a short note explaining why on a follow on sheet (similar to answering questions that are to long, note the question number and answer) - they have seen this before.

Part C. Question # 1 if you are serving overseas in the armed forces in the United States please answer the following: I presently reside or am stationed overseas and my current mailing address is:

I am not serving overseas I am stationed in san diego California can I still put PO Box as my mailing address on that question?

If your not living or residing overseas when your submitting the petition (and in the military), you do not have to fill this in.

Form G-325A

Applicant's residence last five years. List present address first.

If I put my parents address in Arizona on form I-129F questions # 2 and # 14, should I put my parents address as my present address on form G-325A? Or should I put my military address as my present address even though I put my parents address on form I-129F Questions # 2 and # 14?

Answer the question as asked, where you lived for the past 5 years. If you never lived at your parents address, you do not list it.

Very respectful

Hey! My fiance and I have the EXACT same problem, except he is currently deployed, but posted to NY, with an address in MI.

His address for everything we put in MI, it's where his mom lives and where his vehicle is registered and bills are mailed... and on his military docs he has it as his 'home of record'.

As for question number 14, I was advised to provide a supplemental form and stated that since he is single and in the barracks he cannot provide an address where we will live, but once married he will receive living expenses and at that time WE can live on post. They understand that.

Residence history on the G325A we put his address in MI followed by his address in NY until present.

We were originally going to file through VCS, but since technically his home is MI but living in NY we're going through CSC. I'll let you know how it goes! I hope all the info isn't too confusing to them.

PS: My fiance called that helpline and the info they provided him was incorrect... really disappointing. I hope you have better luck.

My fiance is about to finish his training, and we don't know yet where he will be stationed. So when we filed I-129F in January, we put his 'home of record' address everywhere, and put his training name and address as the most recent employer... Military help line was not too helpful in our case either - the information was not quite accurate, and it seemed like they didn't know what to answer to simple questions and had to check with somebody else before giving any information.

We put under address for #14 "See supplemental form page five" and then for city we put Fort Drum, state NY. The fifth page of the package, supplemental form page five we wrote out the question again and stated as a single man in the army he is provided a dorm within the barracks. Once married he can apply for living assistance, but can only do so with the marriage license in hand, and thus we cannot get a marriage license until I am legally able to enter the country on my visa to marry him. But worded a lot better

His 'home on record' is in MI, so we put that address for his home address, his mom lives there. Residential history ends with NY because from there he went on tour to Iraq, and it was the last place he did live. Under the military section he put his APO AE address.

So hopefully that won't be too confusing for them, BUT it is our situation and it is what it is. We have nothing to hide and nothing to stop our case, it's just a matter of luck now that we get someone who can pass it along quickly.

We also requested on our cover letter that it be expedited as we got engaged last summer but couldn't marry because of both of our deployments and are now starting it since he have an idea when he will be back.

I'll keep you posted, if we hear of anything that needs to be fixed I'll let you know.

I agree. I wouldn't recommend any call them unless they are in a real pickle, and when they do call that they request to speak with a supervisor or something.

I wish there was a military members forum haha.

OMG Tater!!!!! much respect for both of you - for your service. Please stay safe. I wish there as military forum, too haha! All the best of luck for you guys with your process. And as for military help line - hey, maybe in your case it can be actually helpful: after you get NOA1 which should be soon - if your fiance calls USCIS himself (if he can do it from far away of course) - he can actually tell that he is deployed, and ask for expedited process. Because what you wrote in cover letter - they might not even read it before they actually get to your case in 5 month. You know? So maybe this way military help line can actually help you speed the process up...

When i called i also wanted to mention the poccibility of soon deployment, but they wouldn't talk to me - they needed my fiance present or calling them himself to talk about specific case situation

The military helpline said the ONLY way to get it expedited is to write it in the cover letter and then you find out by how fast you're approved.... ya. My fiance called them from Iraq.

We are waiting for the NOA1 in the mail (I wish we'd get an electronic heads up), not sure if it'll get sent to his mom's or my address like we asked... but should be here this week. We will likely try calling again to request for expedite, we're really pushing for this. Because I just returned from my contracted tour I am not working, no point in busting my but for a job if I'm leaving in a few months anyways, and if I'm working we can't spend as much time together when he's back. He's my priority at the moment. We've already been forced apart over 7 months for touring and plus all the pre deployment training he had to leave for.

Thank you! My experience overseas is night and day compared to my fiance's. It was an amazing once and a lifetime experience. Many sad and hard days but it's what we're out there for. Working 7 days a week, living, eating and working with the same people in the sand and sun, and occasional flood. If my fiance were forced to do another tour I would go back in a heart beat. You don't need to be in the military to serve your country and the coalition =)
