Reminder Letter, Wrong Address

[trillium13 84]

We moved about a year ago. Filed the change of address forms, got confirmation. Blah blah.

Our ROC reminder still went to the old address. It made its way to us, with a letter from USCIS saying something like "your address has changed, please update it".

Funny thing is, they now have the right address,because they sent us the letter, AND we filed the forms ages ago. They just messed up.

Anyway, do we need to do anything other than file our forms at this point? They will obviously have the current address on them. Thanks!

Did both petitioner and card holder file change of address? If not both need to be filed, not just the card holders change of address.

If you filed both forms I would disregard their msg and just put your new/current address on the ROC papers when you file.

Agree with Inky. When you moved did you remember to file the AR-11 (immigrant) and I-865 (sponsor/s)?

When you file the AR-11 and you don't have an active case, you're supposed to do it by snail mail. When you have an active case you should do online AND snail mail. The story goes there are two systems and when you have an active case the online form updates the "active" file, and the snail mail one updates your whole file (old stuff too).

Anyway you have it, which is funny because apparently not everyone gets the reminder. As long as you put your new address on the paperwork you shouldn't have any issues. If I were you, I would probably include a copy of the previously filed AR-11 just as a reminder to them you changed your address ages ago and so they can make sure both systems are updated (if they can or will be bothered).

Yeah, we both filed, both got confirmation. Will probably add the AR-11 (and confirmation) that we already sent to our stack of papers.

Thanks!

Same happened to me. I called USCIS prior mo mailing my stuff and they had a new address on file but reminder came as redirected mail from the old one. I just put new address on all the forms and that did the trick.

Same here....got the reminder letter to the old address, even after filing the change of address (Immigrant & sponsor) and getting confirmation. Just goes to show you that the different systems of USCIS are not on the same page

Same here- I haven't lived at the old address since 2008 and I've moved twice since then, always updating my address. I don't expect to have any problems once I file, however, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

We got the same message you got with the wrong address. USCIS is a joke.
