Do I need to file a I-865?

[llmeravisa 0]

Hey All,

We are in the process of filing removal of conditions. I'm the sponsor, and have been a US citizen for all of my life do I still need to file a I-865 form?

Also, does anyone know how long it takes for USCIS to update their record for AR-11 and I-865?

Thanks.

Yes, you need to file an I-865 anytime you the sponsor moves.

This only stops when:

• Sponsor dies
• Immigrant dies
• Immigrant naturlaizes and becomes a US citizen
• Immigrant leaves the USA and abandons residency
• Immigrant works and is credited with 40 quarters of work.

This is so the .GOV can track you down an extract any chargeable benefits the immigrant may use.

AR-11 can be filed on line, this results is a quick update of any pending petitions or applications, https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa.Terms

I-865 needs to be mailed within 30 days of any move.

Cool thanks for the replies. That was helpful.

So if i forgot to do the I-865 (planning to do it now, and send it in), is this going to be a problem for removal of conditions? It's been ~ a year

Just did the AR-11 online for my Wife. I hope this isn't going to be a problem for us. I can see people forgetting to change address. In our case the old address is even valid, since it's where my family lives (and we live for long periods of time). Although all evidence we are sending for i-751 is from our new house. Any one have experience with this?

Thanks again.

Should be fine with late filing I-865. I have yet to see someone post having trouble about late filing that form.

Thanks that really makes us feel better. Do you have an idea of how long the I-865 will take? and if we should just wait to file our I-751 for a little while?

Just file it, and then file the I-751, no need to delay filing I-751:

when we moved i filed the ar-11 right away for my wife and stepson, but after seeing the I-865 had to mailed in i put it off at the time to do the following week, i totally forgot about it and ended up sending it in a few days after sending the I-751...a little over a week later i received a receipt notice for the I-865...dont worry you'll be fine...

Wow, we moved half a year ago, and I filed AR-11 and thought we were good. We totally missed the I-865 for my husband, the US Citizen. I'm so glad I read this thread before filing for ROC.

We filed both of those just as we were supposed to, a year ago. Even got the confirmations. USCIS still sent our reminder to the wrong address.

many people forgot or didn't know about the I-865, i wonder if anyone got in trouble for not sending in this form?

I have not heard about anyone getting in trouble over I-865.

For example, I sent ours when we moved (a year and a half ago) and never got a receipt. So I just pretty much said - screw it. If they got it, they got it.

I mean it's still good to send the form (that's what we, USC, are supposed to do) even if it's later after moving.

do I sent in this form with my I 130

The I-865 is for a sponsor that has previously filed an I-864 for someone to report a change of address to the USCIS if they have moved. There would be no reason to send this form in with an I-130 petition > http://www.uscis.gov/i-865

sorry i was meaning the spousal support form... but i guess after calling we can do it later after I 130 i didnt know till i call that I would have to pay 1,ooo+ more for adusting status too, when that all goes through, so here goes Im sending in mine tomarrow in hope to get this ball rolling... Im concerned much on Im being blocked in May from Canada and told to do permantent residence out of coutry cause I work in America so that I dont get blocked but and not able no other way that I can figure , Im not sure how to maintain two permant residences His then mine.. we want to move back west of America as the longer goal .. but Canada is going to block me if I dont do anything and doing to America side doesnt count ... so how does a person maintain both..

I-130 and adjusting status? If you are in the US on a work visa, then you should send the I-130, I-485 and all supporting forms and documentation together at the same time. That would include the I-864 affidavit of support form. The fee for the I-130 is $420 and the fee for the I-485(plus the I-765 and I-131) is $1070.
