Changing address once married

[xxxwabbiexxx 70]

Hi all, my fiance and I at the interview stage of the K1 visa process, my fiance is in the Military and we would like to move on base as soon as possilbe, which is 30 days prior to marriage, my question is this - when do we tell the USCIS of a change of address?? As soon as we know our new address, the next time we need to contact them which will be for AOS or would you advise us to stay where we are till we have completed the AOS.

I ask this because on DS-230 Part 1 of the packet 3 forms that is sent to the embassy, question 11 asks where you want your Permanent Resident Card sending, and I've obviously put the address he is currently living at but if we move on base this will be diffrent.

Thanks

#11 is N/A to a K1. It applies to true immigrant visas who will get a greencard mailed shortly after arrival in the US. They use this form too.

#10 is more for information since nothing in the process will be mailed there for K1s. You can give the current address and add a line saying (example) "Moving to Brooks AFB Aug. 2011"

When you file for AOS, use the address (new) where you are living. It's like a brand new process and they will send everything to the address you state on the forms. They won't go back to your petition or visa documents to pick up an address. Just think of AOS as starting over from scratch and go from there. If female, you may have a new married name so apply for AOS in that new name.

We changed address as well to a military base before filing for AOS. We just went to the USCIS website and changed my wife's address online. The USCIS website indicates that non US citizes are required to notify USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the actual move. It was easy and painless. Then, we filed for AOS.

Here is the quote from the USCIS website: "In addition to changing your address for a pending application the law requires that all non-U.S. citizens, except for holders of A or G visas, report a change of address within 10 days of moving by completing a USCIS Form AR-11, Change of Address."
