Change of address when living abroad

[Katherine 0]

Hello,

I'm living temporarily in Denmark with my husband. He is the american citizen and I have a greencard.

When we moved here we moved out of our NYC apartment because our lease was up, and put all our furnitures and belongings in a storage space.

I know it is important to let USCIS know when you move address, therefore we sent form I-865 with our current Danish address.

Now, 4 months later, I'm starting to get a little concerned that we didn't file the right form? And if so, what can you expect from USCIS? That they send you some kind of acknowledgement letter of receival overseas???

Please help, I don't wanna get in trouble with the USCIS!!!!

Do you have a 2 yr GC or 10yr GC? Moving address would be somewhere in the states not overseas. Your petitioner fills in the I-865 and the beneficiary fills in AR-11 my husband petitioner only got a receipt on our change of address I got nothing on the Ar -11. How long are you going to be in Denmark? They may think you have abandoned your GC status.

I have my 10 year green card now. But then I don't understand what to do when you literally don't have an address in the states. I could have easily given them an address belonging to a family relative or friend, but that world be a "felony", correct?

Btw, we are only in Denmark until the end of the year, and that mean we will have been gone for an overall period of 16 months.

The GC holder uses form AR-11 to change address. The sponsor uses the I-865 to change address. AR-11 is done online. I-865 though the mail.

The GC holder giving a change of address to outside the US for a period of 16 months does not help you with your claim of continued US residency. With the AR-11 you supply the information that you are residing outside the country. You may want to sit down with an immigration atty on your trip back to the US so you don't end up shooting yourself in the foot.

Isn't that weird as I told Vanessa from OZ this I could not fill out Ar-11 on line I kept getting errors that certain fields were not entered and I had to send mine by mail. Never got a receipt for it but my husband got I865 receipt.
