Dear All,

You have to do a change of address with USCIS. However, even with letting USCIS know of your new address, mail still gets send to the original address.

If it were me, I wouldn't move. I'd rather renew the lease for another 6 months and know that the green card will get there safe and sound.

PS: you can change your address online, by mail and on the phone.

It won't delay the card but make it sure you will notify the USCIS by calling them and filing form AR-11(change of address). And a day before moving out from your old address better fill out a form at your local post office to forward all your mails from your old address to your new address.

USCIS mail is not forwarded with a change of address at the post office, any USCIS mail will be returned.

If you can not delay your move then you need to be very pro-active about checking your address change.

You will need to complete form AR-11 on-line, I would also mail a copy and then 1 week after you did the change of address on line call the 1-800 line and check what address they have in the system. You also need to make a infopass appointment at your new local office and check what address they have for your case.

If you get called for your Adjustment interview chack with the interviewing officer what address they will be sending your Greencard to.

Do all of that and you should/maybe will get your Greencard delivered to your new address.

Good Luck
