Hi folks,
I've been searching through the forum for an answer but to no avail.
I'm a DV2013 winner with the interview coming this May. Originally I've answered the questions 10 and 11 (asking for my US mailing and permanent residency address) on the DS-230 as "N/A (will provide at later date)" because at that time I had no US mailing or residential address available to me. I have no friend or relatives in the US.
Now for the interview I'm planning to tell them that I still don't have any US address secured and would like to provide the address at POE if possible. I've noticed some folks here on the forum were asked about where to send the GC at their POE.
My questions therefore are:
1. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? E.g. telling the embassy there is no US address yet but giving them the address at POE? Can this work?
2. Until about two weeks ago I thought I have secured an apartment for me and my family in the US and wanted to use that address during my interview, but it turned out to be a scam and I lost a large amount of money. I don't trust anymore any online ads and planning to spend first couple of weeks in the US in a hotel of some kind before finding an apartment personally via a reputable rental agency. At the POE, can I give them an address of a mail forwarding service, such as Shipito or MailUSA? If not what about PO Boxes or at the worst case my hotel's address?
After I've been scammed I'm desperate finding a reliable US address and it looks like I won't find any until I actually come to the country.
Many thanks for your guys help!
