AR-11 - change of address - sponsor and joint sponsor

[houserocker83 0]

Hi guys!

I came to the U.S. one month ago. Since then my address has changed. I moved with my wife and her parents to another place. I just got married and I want to send in the papers for AOS right now. I never filled out I-864 before (for my K1 Visa I needed to send in I-134 as Affidavit of support). Therefore my wife (sponsor) and my wifes dad (joint sponsor) will not have to fill out I-865 since the new address will be on I-864.

The instructions of I-864 state that: “You should complete and submit Form I-865 to USCIS only when the address you indicated in the original I-864 Affidavit of Support has changed. This requirement does not relieve a sponsor who is a lawful permanent resident from submitting Form AR-11 within ten days of a change of address.”

Does this mean that all of us (me, my wife and her dad) have to fill out AR-11 or does my wife and my wifes dad just have to fill it out when they move after we send out I-864?

thanks for the help

It means that if the sponsor/sponsors are NOT citizens, but permanent residents, they have to file AR-11 in any case (anyone who lives in the US and is not a citizen will always have to file AR-11 every time they move).

If your wife and her dad are citizens, they definitely do not need to file AR-11.
