concern about my address
Hi everyone, I submitted a K1 visa application for my fiance few weeks ago, with that, I have a roommate who also filed for his wife using the same address, currently there are four people living in the apartment which include my roommate,me and my two kids,so to not mess up my application using the same address that someone has already used for almost the same purpose, I used a different address although the same building but a different apartment number that belongs to my aunt,so I'm thinking if it is not going to affect me when it comes to the background check,and do you guys think they are going to request a lease agreement to prove that I live in that apartment? and if they do request for a lease agreement,what should I do? your import will be highly appreciated 👍👍

1. Potential Issues with Address Discrepancy USCIS may conduct background checks, including address verification, during the processing of your K-1 visa petition. Using an address where you don’t actually reside (even if it belongs to a family member in the same building) could raise red flags. If USCIS cross-checks records, such as tax filings, driver’s licenses, or lease agreements, and finds inconsistencies, it may lead to a Request for Evidence (RFE) or additional scrutiny. 2. Possibility of a Lease Agreement Request USCIS does not always ask for a lease agreement, but they may do so if they need to verify your residency. This is more common in adjustment of status cases, but since K-1 visa applications involve background checks, discrepancies in your living situation might prompt further inquiry. If they request proof of residency, they could ask for: • Lease agreement or rental contract • Utility bills (electricity, water, internet, etc.) • Bank statements or pay stubs showing your address • Government-issued ID with your listed residence 3. What to Do If USCIS Requests Proof of Address If USCIS asks for proof of address and you cannot provide a lease agreement in your name, you may need to submit alternative evidence such as: • A notarized affidavit from your aunt stating you live in her unit • Mail addressed to you at the provided address • A letter from your employer verifying your residential address If they find inconsistencies, they may ask for further clarification or schedule an in-person interview to verify details. 4. Possible Next Steps • If you are genuinely living in your aunt’s apartment, ensure you have supporting documents that reflect that address. • If you actually reside in your roommate’s unit, you might consider updating your address with USCIS to avoid complications. • Keep an eye on any USCIS correspondence and be prepared to provide supporting documents if requested.
