Change of Address

[wong_watkins 1]

I had my biometrics done on Mar 9, 2007, so now I'm just waiting for my 10-year green card in the mail. I have just moved into a new apt with my husband, and I know I need to file AR-11 to notify them the change of address. Since I know that the Homeland Security is not always working effectively as we expected, I'm afraid that they will still mail my green card to my old address even after filing AR-11. I know the post office won't forward those kind of mails that's why I'm concerned.

Anybody experienced this before? I probably should call them to notify them the change of address to make sure that they will put my new address into their system?

if you are in the middle of filing anything and you move you need to file the AR-11 and you need to call them....

You can do that here on our website with the Electronic Change of Address tool. If you choose to use this online tool, you can complete an electronic Form AR-11 and notify USCIS to update your address on most pending cases.

Regardless of whether or not you are a U.S. citizen, if you choose not to use the electronic change of address notification, you will need to call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to request that the address on your pending application/petition be changed. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will also need to complete a paper Form AR-11.

also remember to file the Sponsor's Notice of Change of Address

We filed our AR-11 and Change of Address (not the same thing) online while the I-751 was pending, and the card arrived today (addressed to the new address), no problems.

I like doing the address change online instead of calling because you get an instant written confirmation you can print out, whereas there's no proof you called and told them.

Don't forget that the sponsor also has to file the I-865.

Thank you for your help!

I'm not very sure how to do the e-filing, as I looked up the USCIS website, I couldn't find anything relating AR-11/I-865 e-filing..

From the main USCIS page, it's on the left side under "More Information." It says "Change Your Address with USCIS."

From there it asks you whether you have a case pending and what your status is. It will help you file the AR-11 and the change of address (if you currently have a case pending).

You can't e-file the I-865. It has to be mailed.
