We filed our initial K-1 documents/application using a PO Box in a different city as I was staying with family at the time. Before she entered the U.S. I moved in to my own house and she has used my new address on all documents at the POE, the state and county level, and with SS.

So I am just wondering, do they reference the old address on the initial K-1 I-129, G325, etc.. And will it confuse them if I submit an I-485 with accompanying documents using the new address? Do I even need to submit an AR-11 since we have used the new address since she has arrived in the U.S?

Thanks for the help.

Technically if you moved while the process was happening you WERE supposed to change your address as stated here: https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa where it says a case "processing".

However, I think you should be okay if you use the new address as MY address as the immigrant has of course changed yet I didn't need to submit a change of address but that was because technically one part, i.e. the K1, had stopped processing, and now we're starting the new part so from now on you MUST report every address change until (if) she becomes a USC. Then the obligation to report changes of addresses cease, or so is my understanding.

Remember the instructions in I-864 http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864.pdf, page 4 state that the sponsor is required to change their address within 30 days.. it's a federal law.

Hope that helps.

That was my understanding. Thank you.

USCIS Online Change of Address

U.S. Citizens who do not have an application or petition pending with USCIS are only legally required to notify USCIS of a change of address if they have previously submitted a Form I-864 on behalf of someone who has become a permanent resident. If you have previously submitted a Form I-864 for someone who immigrated to the U.S., you must complete a Form I-865 within ten days of the completion of your move.

I do not have any applications pending, and the I-864 has not been submitted as of yet. When it is submitted, along with any future moves I know I must submit a change of address immediately.

Thank you for the help.
