I am about to file for the lifting of conditions this week, and based on everyone on VJ it appears that due to the delay they will most likely be sending out an extension for one year. THIS IS MY PROBLEM :bonk: My husband and I need to move out of our house as soon as possible..... At which point will I get the extension letter? In the first NOA or when they scheduled the Biometrics Appointment? At which stage can I track thru the internet. The new owners are nice enough to advise me if something comes from Immigration (eventhough I would be able to tell thru the internet) however I am concerned with me changing my address at this point.

Please Help ME !!!

Thanks

If the change is almost immediate and you know your new address I would send the application with you new address on it alond witha a change of address form.

Here is what the USCIS Says

"USCIS Online Change of Address

IntroductionCustomers who have an application and/or petition which has been filed with USCIS but has not yet been decided (also known as a 'pending' case) should notify USCIS of any change of address as soon as possible after moving.

The law requires nearly all non-U.S. Citizens1 to report a change of address within 10 days of moving by completing a Form AR-11. Abiding by these legal requirements and completing the necessary forms does not update an address on any applications or petitions pending with USCIS. Non-citizens with pending cases must do both.

Most customers can now notify USCIS to change their address on a pending case online here on our website. Non-citizens can also now complete the Form AR-11 online here on our website.

If you choose to change your address online using our Online Change of Address Notification tool, you will need to have some information available. Please have the following information available before you begin:

  • Your receipt notice or other notice we sent you showing your receipt number (if you have a pending case with USCIS).
  • Your new address
  • Your old address
  • If you have filed a petition for a family member, please have the names and biographical information for that person.
  • When you last entered the United States (if you cannot remember this information please fill in an approximate date)
  • Where you last entered the United States (through what port of entry you entered - whether by land, sea or air)
How do I submit my change of address if I don't have my receipt number?

An AR-11 Change of Address does not require a receipt number. You can submit your change of address for a Pending Case if you have not yet received a receipt number for your application.

If you have paid for your application by:

Check: You can update your address using USCIS' Change of Address Online. This requires your receipt number. Look at the back of the cancelled check that was returned to you through your bank. On the back is the 13-digit USCIS receipt number which looks like this (but will have different letters and numbers) ABC 01 23456789 Use your 13-digit number when you are asked to input your receipt number in your change of address.

Money order: You can report your change of address by calling USCIS Customer Service toll-free at 1-800-375-5283, and a USCIS Customer Service agent will enter your new address for you."

Hope this helps

My husband and I filed our I-751 at the end of Nov even though we would be moving. We didn't end up moving until Feb and submitted our change of address info (me - the sponsor - by mail AR-11)(my husband - online). Our case appeared as *touched* online shortly after so I'm assuming this is because they updated our address. I'm assuming all is well now - but we did ask the post office to forward our mail from our old place to our new place so if they do mess up it will hopefully find us.

Yes it does however I still need to know the following:

When I receive the NOA1 is that the application # which I can track thru the internet or do I need to wait for the Biometrics?

Also, I have not found a new place to go to and I need to file Wednesday therefore I understand the process but I wanted to know with the Biometrics letter stating that our case has been extended and since most likely it will be sent PRIOR to us finding a new home (we need to be out by June 30th) it will be ok to change the address after we move.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes the application number on the NOA1 is the number that you can use to track you application online. The NOA1 also is the extension letter. The Biometrics letter is just the appointment notice for you biometrics. Can I ask why you need to file on Wednesday? If Your GC is expiring on wednesday then you will also need to get your passport stamped to cover untill you get the NOA1. Otherwise you will be fine to file within the 90 days up to the GC expiry. It will give you time to know where you are moving to.

yes it is ok to do it after you move within the 10 day period
