[Title] => Your petition could be shred if you don’t advise the NVC of any address change!
[Summary] => If you have ever filed a petition on behalf of a relative (i.e. a brother, sister, adult child, etc.), and then moved to a new home, you must notify the National Visa Center (NVC) of the change of address. If you don’t, how do you expect the NVC to know that you moved, so that they could later send forms and other documents to you when the priority date on your petition finally becomes current?

[Summary] => On my show, Citizen Pinoy, I always remind people to keep their addresses current with the National Visa Center (NVC) while waiting for the priority date on their approved petition to become current. In many cases, the wait for an immigrant visa can be from 10 to 25 years!
