Folks,

My wife and I moved house in May 2008; I filed an AR-11 around that time, and was waiting on my PR card at the time. It showed up in the mail at the new house just a couple of weeks after we moved, but is actually dated only three days after our moving date. No problem, anyway...

I-751 filing period rolls around, and I happened to run into the folk who now live at our old address a couple of weeks ago. To my surprise, they had a USCIS letter for me, which turned out to be a reminder about the I-751 (I didn't even know they took the trouble to remind people to file!).

I'm not sure if I should do anything about the reminder going to the wrong address or not (why it did, I have no idea)? I could just mention it in the cover letter when I send them my I-751 packet, but I'm not sure if I should be more worried about it than I am (had I not run into those folks, I perhaps never would have known it existed) or if it's such a trivial matter (after all, my PR card went to the right place) that it's not worth mentioning at all.

Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do, if anything, about it?

cheers

Jules

It happened to many many people. go ahead and file under your current address and in the form, you most probably have already filled the addresses you have lived in the past two years, which covers everything....

They have 2 address "spots" in the system which is why it's best to update your address online, and also with the physical form because each updates a different system. It sounds like it was changed in one spot but not the other.

I agree with others, send it in and include the AR-11 showing that you changed your address.

Good luck :)

This happened to many others including myself. I just mailed the I-751 application with my current address on it, included a copy of the AR-11 and never mentioned anything else about it. So far I have recieved all the further correspondence in regard the I-751 at my current address.

(late reply, sorry)

Yeah, I called them in the end and the person at USCIS I spoke to didn't seem to think it was a problem. I've got an acknowledgement letter from when I filed a change of address (to the current house) as part of my I-485, so I think I might just put the reference number for that in my cover letter (or on the additional page for the I-751 where I'll list the previous address), and they can chase it up that way if they want.

I don't think I took a copy of my AR-11, which was perhaps a bit stupid of me - but then I suppose being able to wave a copy under their noses wouldn't really prove that I'd sent it off (or that it had even reached them) anyway.

Looking at my paperwork, I'd goofed - my PR card *did* actually go to my previous address, but USPS had automatically forwarded it to my new address (which is why I recall it arriving at the current house). Maybe that explains why the reminder went to the old address, too.

cheers

How far in advance to they send you the reminder letter? I have to send my I-751 package in next month (PR card expires in July). Thanks

mine showed up (just at the wrong house, so I didn't get it until much later) a couple of weeks before the start of the 90 day window for filing.

cheers
