I just wanted to know how big a hassle with USCIS it is when you're moving. I just filed my application and received my NOA. However we are planning on moving in August (same apartment complex different building).

I know I have to file AR-11 and call USCIS for the address change on my application. But are they good at changing the address? Also does USCIS mail get forwarded by the mail service?

CIS sucks at updating addresses. Call CIS, File an AR-11, write a separate letter with a copy of the AR-11 to each center or office currently processing each of your petitions, and it does not hurt to make an InfoPass appointment (especially if you are changing CIS offices) to inform them of your move and request they move your file to the new location.

Make sure your postal carrier is aware of the type of mail you expect to receive and need forwarded. Explicitly ask them to send it to you - and when you receive it, send a copy back to CIS notifying them again that your address has changed.

I am not a lawyer. I am familiar with the immigration process, but any questions I answer are not advice or represented as being true for your situation in any form or manner. I am not liable if you read what I have written and act upon it. Do your own research, ask an attorney for assistance, and make up your own mind. Nevertheless, I may attempt to answer questions from time to time to give you an idea of what to search for in finding out your answer.
