Questions before K1 interview (Bolivia)
Hey all, just a few quick questions:
1. My fiancee lives in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. She cannot receive postal mail,
or telephone calls, for that matter. How can she get the packet from the
U.S. once our visa is approved by NVC?
2. Does anyone have any experience with the embassy in La Paz? Any info we
can get on the interview, etc, would be greatly appreciated.
3. Our visa status is technically unchanged, but I received something in the
mail from the NSC that indicates we will receive a notice of approval very
shortly. My own address has changed in the last week. Do I need to notify
BCIS? How do I do that?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

1) They are going to send her information to the address you gave on the bio form. My husband didn't have a street address, so we gave his address as the post office. His packet never made it to the post office, so he had to go to the embassy to get it. (That's the condensed version of the story.)
2) I have no experience with La Paz. I would tend to overcompensate with them, though. I read through everything that anyone had ever been asked to bring, and brought originals and copies of all of it. Half of it wasn't needed, but I do think that the mountain of paperwork changed the tone of the officers.
3) Yes, you have to file to change your address. I am just going to point you to the USCIS website for instructions on how to do that. I am going to hope, for your sake, that someone at your previous address will hold mail for you. The change can take them months to make and I am pretty sure that the postal service won't forward the approval notice.
