K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChange of Address

I think you can just send a letter or email to the consulate where she will be interviewed. They will be sending her the interview letter with the date and time, so they'll need her new address.

There is no specific form for it though, so just a letter should do. And make sure you put your file number on it, so they know who you're talking about.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChange of Address
I was married in China on 25 November 2005. My I-130 and I-129 have both been aproved and we are now waiting for the letter for my wifes interview.

My wife lives in Anshan, China and recently moved to a new apartment. Do I need to file a change of adress for her? If I understand the process corectly, I am her agent, so all of the paperwork and letters should be sent directly to me. If I need to file a COA, what form would I use?

Thank you in advance.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI - 864 Affidavit of Support for interview
I was curious about the I - 864 Affidavit of Support when my wife goes to Guangzhou for her visa interview. The forms have already been completed and sent. Shouldn't this already be included in the packet? Do I have to do these again and send them to my wife, or will this be included in the packet at her physical?

Thank you
Tom

:D Thank you all very much for your replies. I am a happy man now. My wife has been very patient and understanding through this whole process and we are elated just to be together after being apart for 19 months after our marriage. On her first full day here we applied for her social security card, got her Chinese computer and cell phone working so she can keep the communications open with her family and friends in China. I elected not to have a reception, as she will meet my family and friends soon enough. I remember my wedding in China where it was only her family and friends and I did not know anyone. It will be hard enough for her here just learning the new culture and adjusting to her new home and lifestyle. She can no longer take the bus or train everywhere and must learn to drive just go get around in the neighborhood. She'll need to drive across town for shopping when she is accustomed to walking across the street. She'll need to use credit cards and write checks where she is use to paying only with cash. And above all, she'll need ot have a command of the English language if she wants to get the job she deserves.

For all of you Citizens who's spouses and fiance's elected to come to be with you in your country, care and nurture them and cherish the prize that you have. They have made a great sacrifice of leaving their homeland and family behind to be with you.

Thank you all again for all the advice you have given me. I could not have gotten through the government maze without you.

Thanks again,
Tom

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR 1 spouse immigrant visa

My wife is now in the USA on her CR1 Immigrant Visa. What is the next step we must take? We have already applied for her social security card. I believe now she must file for permission to work. Is form I-765 the proper form? The instructions on the form are vague at best. There is no where in the instructions that even mention immigrant. It only mentions nonimmigrant spouse. Also, to file this form, I must supply form I-94, passport, and K visa. The I-94 was taken at the border entry, and she does not have a K visa. As I said, the instructions are vague at best. Is this information going to be sent to me from NCIS? Also the I-551, will the green card be sent automatically?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Your wife is now a conditional (the C in CR1) permanent resident of the US and has all those rights and privileges. You are in the clear with the USCIS for 21 months. Then you file to remove the conditions on her permanent residence.

Applying for the Social Security card and State ID, putting her on bank accounts and company medical plans would be your focus now. The stamp in her passport gives her authorization to work, as does the "green card" you will receive shortly.


I agree with you all.
