AR11- where to send to???

[Sleepybears 0]

Hi,

I've the same question again...

I'm always confused where I should send the forms to. I read from some posts that I should send the AR-11 form to the LOCAL or DISTRICT office and USCIS. So if I live in San Francisco, California, should I send the AR-11 to London, KY (where I'm asked to send to on the form), USCIS California Certer and the San Francisco USCIS office???

Hello,

The AR-11 is just a formality to comply with the law. We have to inform CIS when we move using that form. Mail it to the London, KY address. HOWEVER, filing this form does not change the address in their system for any pending applications, so if you have any applications pending, such as EAD, AP of AOS, etc, you should ALSO call the customer service number and talk to an agent to change your address in the system. See this link

USCIS has created an additional procedure and recommends additional notifications for those aliens who are also applicants for benefits. Applicants and Petitioners with pending cases should telephone customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to report their change of address and get the address on the pending application/petition changed. If you are not a U.S. Citizen you will also be required to complete a Form AR-11. If you are not a U.S. citizen and you have a case pending with USCIS you need to do both - call customer service and complete the Form AR-11. The AR-11 is used by non-U.S. citizens to meet the legal requirements of informing USCIS of any change of address. Presently, completing an AR-11 does not update your address on any pending case. Also, while calling customer service updates the address on your pending case, it does not meet the legal requirement of completing an AR-11. Please see Change of Address (found under Contacting Us) on your local office About Us page.

Change of Address:

Customers with pending applications may report their change of address to customer service at 1 (800) 375-5283. Customers who are not U.S. citizens are also required to file Form AR-11.

Maybe all of the above?

wow... seems so troublesome. I really dont know why they can't just change the record of our case at the USCIS system...

yeah i'll just send the form to all those places then... just in case.

Thanks a lot!

the sponsor spouse also needs to notify them of address change with form I-865.

Hi Reba,

Yeah I know about this form. And I was told that I only need to send this one to the CA USCIS office. I hope this one I'm right.
