Hi All,

My husband and I are currently subletting, we listed the sublet address when we filed our AOS and Work Authorisation etc. Since we have been living in NYC we have a PO BOX that we have our bills sent to (phone, insurance etc). We are hoping to change our address with USCIS to our PO BOX, just so nothing goes missing between moves.

Does anyone know if its possible to change your address to a PO BOX?

Cheers,

Amara and Steve

I don't see, why not. As long as it is addressed in your name :)

We just wonder whether USCIS wants to know exactly where we are living, rather than just a postal address.

Can I use a post office box address for USCIS?

No, the law requires you to report to USCIS the address in the US where you actually reside.

I had this snippet off the USCIS site on one of my crawls....

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
