Address Change

[evansfan]

I know this topic must have been addressed in the past, but my search has been fruitless. Our NOA 2 was late October, and our paperwork has left the NVC, but now my SO is moving to a new apartment and her company just gave her a company sim card with a new number, so we need to update her information. Do we go through the NVC or the consulate? If we go through the consulate how do we know when to contact them since the P3 apparently sent out subsequent to the data entry of her file?

 

Thanks

First call NVC and if the case is still there get the address corrected, wait a few days and call them again to verify the new address.

If and when the case is sent to the consulate, you can email them to confirm the case arrival and also to verify the address change is in their system, they will have the case in their system but wont send the P3 until they actually receive the physical case, it takes 2 months or so for them to receive the file.

I would also correct the address with DOS, and then Confirm the address change with them.

Actually I just changed my address and was told to change it with all three USCIS, NVC, and the consulate. Best to cover all bases.

The consulate changed my address even though they did not receive the physical papers yet from NVC. I guess they just used my case number.
