The I-129F and G325A clearly asks that we put a street address/physical address on the form.The problem is that not all countries have a sophisticated postal system where the mail is delivered to home addresses.Most countries uses P.O Boxes and most people do not even know their street addresses .For fear of having the form returned to me.I found out the street address and listed it on the form.Now I am worried that they will mail documents to my fiancee at that address.I was under the impression that once the file are sent to the local consulate they will in turn have my fiancee come and pick up the forms, I didnt know that they will be mailing anything to her.

Can someone please confirm if this is true? Does packet 3 and 4 get sent to the beneficiary by mail or do they go to the consualte to pick up applicatiopn forms and opther documents.

Thanks.

I have PO Box delivery only because I am in a rural area (population 127). I used my street address and told the post office about it, they will do an internal change of address and forward to my PO Box. The town is small enough that you can put my first name and my zip code and I'll get the mail.

The post office will give you a paper stating there is no street delivery that you can give to those who need to mail you things.

Sometimes I put my street address then put "Apartment 23" after the address, and it is actually my PO Box number.

They go to the embassy to pick up packets 3 and 4, but the embassy mails out a letter telling them when to come. You can email the embassy and ask them to email you when packets 3 and 4 are ready so that you can inform your fiance.
