change of address question

[lbounds 16]

We don't really have a pending case as my wife has an active 2 year green card. I understood though if you move you need to notify uscis of your new address. I did this online before when I moved during our k1 process. I did this online 3 weeks ago and so far never got a letter from them confirming our new address.

Is this because we don't have a pending case or should I still eventually get some letter confirming they got our new address ?

Thanks for any info on this

Only the USC would get a letter saying the change of address was confirmed. From mailing in their form.

The online portion for the GC holder is verified online only.

I wondered this too for my husband and his conditional green card. we are moving in a month and a half and there's not pending petition do we still need to update our address? we still have another step to go on his green card.

Yes? its required by law to update your address as a green card holder. You have to update any and all changes of address until you become a US citizen.

A willful failure to give written notice to the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of moving to the new address is a misdemeanor crime. If convicted, you (or parent or legal guardian of an alien under age 14 who is required to give notice) can be fined up to $200 or imprisoned up to 30 days, or both. The alien may also be subject to removal from the United States. (INA § 266(b)). Compliance with the requirement to notify the USCIS of any address changes is also a condition of your stay in the United States. Failure to comply could also jeopardize your ability to obtain a future visa or other immigration benefit.

The only difference this time is when I did the online change of address during K1 I got a letter confirmation from them in the mail. This time so far I did not. But I printed the online confirmation that I submitted so I do have a record of it.

I talked to USCIS today and the lady told me that we have to change the address until the immigrant becomes a US citizen.

You filed an I-865 to change YOUR address correct? You will get confirmation of change (my husband got 2 in fact :S) but the immigrant won't get anything for the AR-11.
