Sent I-751 2 weeks ago, can we move?

[ihsiuhuang 0]

hi all, got a question here. 2 weeks ago we submit the I-751 petition for my wife. we havn't receive our noa yet. but we are thinking of moving to a different apartment because with our new baby coming into this world we need a bigger and newer place to live. i am concerned about our address though. if we move, would the immigration service allow any of our documents to be forwarded to a new address? or would it have some kind of notice on the envelope that forbids forwarding. If we move i know I can just fill out one of those forwarding forms at the post office but i am not sure if its wise. what should i do? no idea how long it'll take for the petition to be approved but we would like to move in a couple month.

Why not submit the AR-11 and I-865? And as a caution, always get return receipt for it and follow up by corresponding with the local district and Service Center.

can we still sent in the 2 forms while we are waiting for the petition? since on the petition we write our current address and not where we want to move, would there be a mix up when they want to contact us?

Yes you have to tell them if you move.... so within 10 days of moving you need to file form AR-11 for non-usc and I-865 for the sponsor and also write a letter to your old local office and your new local office telling them of your change of address.

To successfully change your mailing address, from the Dept of Overkill:

-file AR-11 as required by law. This does not change your *mailing* address, but it informs USCIS where you might have been, at one time. Just do it, it's the

law

http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/address.htm

How Do I Report a Change of Address to the USCIS?

AR-11 does not generally generate a NOA receipt. Send by trackable mail.

-Copy of AR-11 to any LOCAL or district office where you might have a file. Include a letter saying: change my mailing address

-copy of AR-11 to any Service Center where you might have a file. Include a letter saying: change my mailing address

-Phone call to 1-800 MisInformation line with the request: please change my mailing address

-file I-865 for USC Sponsor as required by law. You *may* get a NOA for this one and it *might* change the Sponsor's mailing address. Or not.

-file Change of Address and Mail Forwarding with the USPS. Your USCIS mail *might* get forwarded to your new addy. Or returned to USCIS, you never know. Unfortunate side effect: the PO sells your new address to bulk mailers and you are now back on every junk mailing list under the sun.

-Follow up phone call to 1-800 to see if address change is captured.

-Cross fingers and keep an eye on processing times and when you expect to be contacted. Don't let it go for ages and then say 'dude, where's my case?'.©

wow thats a lot of forms to fill out but its definitely what i need to do i am sure. one thing i am worried is if our documents get send back to USCIS. If that happens, I have a feeling its going to take a long time for it to deliver to our new address. I just don't want to delay the petition process any longer than it'll take.

maybe i should wait for my NOA first? I send it out on Sept 25th, USPS confirmed package delivered on 28th, check was cashed on the 29th. so i should get my NOA soon then. hopefully.

Just two forms, which take about 2 min each to fill out.
