OKay, so we did everything right and things still messed up. -- It happens, I get it, but when they send out my Green Card to the wrong address after we did everything to make sure they had our correct address, I start to get pretty mad.

So we moved in August, I had lodged my AOS in late June.

I filed my AR-11, changed my address online, called USCIS and notified the varying offices that were holding my case AND had my mail forwarded by USPS from my old address to my new address.

I have photocopies of the AR-11 (along with the registered mail receipt).

I received mail at my NEW address from USCIS notifying me that they acknowledged my address change.

I checked my case status online after I received an automated email telling me my green card had been approved and that a "Welcome package and PR card was being sent out".

I waited and waited....nothing. Then I receive a the Welcome Package that had been forward from my old address -- Lucky I had my mail forwarded. Still waiting for my PR card. I call USCIS they say that they cant check my address details over the phone; that they can only record that I called with my concerns and that someone will contact me by the 17th of DECEMBER, 2009 (2 months later--Im still waiting for that call. ).

I asked the USCIS representative WHY this had happened... I had done everything that was required; documented, notified, etc. (For the record, the lady I spoke with was the most INCOMPETENT person I have ever dealt with). The USCIS representative told me that some times we just have to "HOPE" that we receive all the correct documentation.

I'm sorry but I fail to see why I should have to HOPE that people know how to do their jobs. MY PR card is solely the most important piece of documentation to-date.

Long story short, USICS advised me that the PR card is sent out in a regular envelope; no USCIS labels on it. This means that USPS prossibly would not forward the mail as they may assume it is junk/spam mail. (When you have your mail forwarded by USPS they only forward mail that is marked --bills etc).

So I waited went each day to our old address for the postman.

FINALLY my card turned up (At the old address). I have notified USCIS AGAIN with the AR-11, online address change AND on the telephone. Lets hope that any documents in the future find me....though I doubt it.

Same thing happened here, did the AR-11 received a hard copy of USCIS acknowledging the update, two months later our RFE was sent to the old address.

I recommend that you have your mail forwarded by USPS. Its free. And as long as the mail is marked with a USCIS label then you SHOULD get it.
