I-865 and AR-11 forms

[jaaaaamas 0]

Hello everyone! This is my first post in this forum and I am excited. It's such a nice feeling to finally advance into this sectio of the process.

My husband and I are moving from NJ to Seattle, WA in the summer. As I have read on here numerous times, we will need to fill out an AR-11 form when we get there. I also know that as a sponsor, I must fill out the I-825 to show my change of address.

However, I am not the only sponsor who's address will be changing. My aunt is my husband's joint sponsor and she will be moving to a new home around the same time as us. So I am assuming she will need to fill out an I-865 as well, being a joint sponsor?

I know there is no fee for the forms, but do we need to send in any supporting documents or evidence of our new homes? And is it customary to send out the forms in advance before you move or after you move into your new home?

Thanks for your help! I know this is a popular and repititive topic.

you have to send forms within 10 days of moving.... Yes the co-sponsor will have to do a I-865 as well...

You need to send your AR-11 to

How Do I Report?

All aliens changing their address must file Form AR-11 with the USCIS address listed on the form. That address is:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security

USCIS

Change of Address

P.O. Box 7134

London, KY 40742-7134

For commercial overnight or fast freight services, only:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security

USCIS

Change of Address

1084-I South Laurel Road

London, KY 40744

USCIS has created an additional procedure and recommends additional notifications for those aliens who are also applicants for benefits. Applicants and Petitioners with pending cases should telephone customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to report their change of address and get the address on the pending application/petition changed. If you are not a U.S. Citizen you will also be required to complete a Form AR-11. If you are not a U.S. citizen and you have a case pending with USCIS you need to do both - call customer service and complete the Form AR-11. The AR-11 is used by non-U.S. citizens to meet the legal requirements of informing USCIS of any change of address. Presently, completing an AR-11 does not update your address on any pending case. Also, while calling customer service updates the address on your pending case, it does not meet the legal requirement of completing an AR-11. Please see Change of Address (found under Contacting Us) on your local office About Us page.

The I-865 should be sent to

U.S. Department of Homeland Security

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

Vermont Service Center

75 Lower Welden St.

Saint Albans, Vermont 05479

Other than the forms you dont need to send anything else

Hope this helps
