Hi VJers!

Quick question I'm hoping you can help me with.

Since coming to the US (on a K3 visa) in June I have moved from one address in NYS to another in NYS (10 min. apart). My previous address was that of my inlaws, who are still there. When hubby and I moved into our new house (end of Sept.), which is new construction, and thus a brand new physical address, we had some trouble with mail being returned to sender (likely because our mail delivery person was not familiar with the house nor the address). I was uncertain as to whether or not I needed to report this address change to anyone, and hesitant to do so seeing as I was waiting for my interview letter and wouldn't want it to get lost trying to get to the new house... I figured I'd just wait to receive the interview letter at the old address and then look into it.

In December, my interview letter was delivered to my previous US address, and now that that the mail issue at our new house has since been resolved (to the best of my knowledge), I'm wondering if I need to file an I-865 form with the USCIS? (Although, technically, it appears as though this form is for sponsors, so my husband will need to complete it.)

I was under the (false, perhaps?) impression that I only needed to notify the USCIS of a change of address if I had a form/petition pending with them...

If it is advised that I complete and send this form I will do so asap, but I'd sure appreciate your input.

Cheers & Thanks!,

~ Em

Hey Em!!

now.....my impression was that you ALWAYS need to inform the gov't of your change of address regardless of whether you have a petition pending.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

All non-U.S. citizens (aliens) who are required to be registered are also required to keep the USCIS informed of their current address.

Good to see ya woman !!

Ah, CutienPurg! Always coming to my rescue!! Thanks for the link. It appears as though I do indeed need to notify them of my change of address. Although... it makes no mention of the I-865, only the AR-11 (which can be filed online). Looks like I will need to do both... (well, one for hubby, the sponsor, and one for me the alien).

Much Thanks!!
