Address Change Questions about AR-11 and I-865

[sqtb 0]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but here's my situation: My address changed after the I-130 and I-129F (K-3) had both been approved (so I have no pending applications with USCIS -- correct?). My wife has already entered on her K-3, but we have not filed AOS yet. We put the new address on the I-94, and will put the new address on the I-485 / I-765.

Question 1: Does she need to send a AR-11? The I-130 and I-129F both had the old address, but since they are already approved, I don't think they are considered "pending". In which case I don't think we need to send AR-11. Thoughts?

Question 2: I already sent the I-864 to the NVC (as I was going along the CR-1 path also while waiting for the K-3). However, since my wife does not have her CR-1 yet, do I need to send in I-865?

Thanks!

Anyone got any ideas...?

Yes, you do need to send in both the AR-11 and the I-865. Its a pain in the #######, and doesn't go along with the instructions on the forms themselves, but I had to change my address when I arrived because the address on my K3 DS forms was different than the address on the petitions.

You still have an I-130 pending until you complete AOS, so you need to update that address or you won't be getting your mail. If you've decided to go AOS rather than CR1, you will need to notify NVC of this change so they will forward your I-130 to your district office. If you do not update your address change with the I-865, then you won't get any mail from NVC or your DO.

Send the AR-11 to Kentucky, plus send a photocopy of it to the DO with the I-865, and send a letter to NVC to transfer your I-130 stuff.
