change of address

[smallcan999 0]

Hi,

We are getting ready to send in our 751 to remove conditions...I just saw someone say that the USC must also do a change of address when we moved. I am the USC but did not know I needed to do that so we did not...We completed the change of address for my husband but not me. Now what do I do and is this a show stopper for the remving of conditions?

Thanks,

Sheila

The sponsor(s) has to do the I-865 address change. That is a mail in form. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-865.pdf

Thank you..I am the sponsor and when we bought our house, we did the AR11 but I don't ever remember filling out the other form for me...Is that going to be a problem do you think?

Shouldn't be. I sent mine in several months after we moved.

We are in the same boat, prepping for removal of conditions. Just print it out and mail it in. You'll get a acknowdgement in the mail.

Thank you...I will do that but there won't be enough time since my husbands green card expires 6/4/2009...What will that do if they don't see that I as the USC didn't change my address..I am just scared now that something will go wrong. We did everything right every step of the way until this...:-)

File your change of address online. Then, in the cover letter accompanying your I-751 package, state your current address to ensure that all future correspondence goes to this location. There should be no problem.

Hi smallcan999,

Don't worry about not filing sponor's change. My wife and I forgot to do it when we moved. I did an online AR-11 and sent sponsor's change of address later on. Please ask your husband to do an online AR-11 change of address and print out the confirmation page of it. Please fill out the PDF of I-865.pdf and print it or print the form and fill it out either way.

Get your documents together that's the most important thing for I-751, indicate in the cover letter that you have attached both confirmation of AR-11 for the application and USC sponsor's change of address as well and you should be fine.

Based on my observation with USCIS they only change/update your address if you file a new case with them, if you do a change of address after your case is done or is being processed, rarely they do update it in their system. Plus when your husband will go for biometric after they are done the person will confirm your address and other info on the computer monitor (depends on the biometric center).

Please read this thread, it has all the documents you should include for I-751. Very good thread.

Good Luck.

Sheila,

I don't think it will matter, but I'll let you know. I did the same thing when we moved more than a year ago - sent in his form, but not mine. When I was getting the I-751 paperwork ready, I saw a post that mentioned it. I sent out the form that day (return receipt) with a cover letter explaining that I didn't realize I was supposed to send it in until then, and I apologized (figured it wouldn't hurt to be nice). From the instructions, it seems the worst that could happen is you could get fined, but it sounds like that would only happen if you did it so your husband could get means-tested benefits. In other words, if you did it on purpose, and he got some kind of welfare. In that case, you'd have to pay it back anyway, even if you did file a change of address. Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I doubt it would even get you an RFE unless you failed to file it at all. Oh, I made sure to include a copy of the cover letter, the filled in I-865, and a photocopy of the mailing receipt with the I-751 packet. I might even have added a screen print of the USPS tracking site showing it really was mailed to them. I ended up sending the I-751 the next day - May 1. I haven't heard anything about it either way, just got my return receipt.

Let's both keep our fingers crossed!

Best of luck!
