Change of Address and other future preperations

[Irishlover 2]

Hello Visajourniers

My husband and I are now in the states and everything is going well (besides the fact that I can't seem to get a job but that's for another forum) But anyways, our permanent address has changed, who do I need to tell and how do I tell them?

Also, he got into the states on December 27,2011 is there anything we should be doing in terms of preparing for his future interview and besides the, social security information and welcome information should we be expecting much mail from them and if so around when in the process do we receive it ?

Thanks!

File out the form AR11 online(USCIS) to let them know you changed your address. Keep in mind most of the times they don't update the address in their system, then after a fews days call the 1800 number to make sure they updated your address.I don't know which kind the visa he entered, but anyway put ALL UTILITIES BILLS IN NAME OF BOTH, add him in your bank account, health insurance, car insurance.Good luck.

In addition, consider notifying the USPS of your change of address... Chances are that the most important piece of mail in your life will be sent to your old address. It never fails.

You can even do it online: https://www.usps.com/umove/

Thank you I will fill it out now. He has a great job, our lease in is both of our names as are all the bills. He got a job before me!

Ok This might be a very ridiculous question but my husband, whom is in on a CR1 Visa.... is he considered a US Citizen or not? I need to choose that to be able to fill in the application and I know he is considered a permanent resident, does that make him a US citizen?

Is this change of address for a U.S. Citizen?

*Yes, this change of address is for a US Citizen

*No, this change of address is not for a US Citizen

We were trying to file our AR11 last night on the web site.

The form would not allow us to leave the NON-MANDATORY fields blank. Even fields not relevant to our circumstances such as:

If "Other" please specify (this in reference to the question preceding it "I am in the US as a")

"If Above Address is temporary, specify Years Months "

"If not a Permanent Resident, my stay in the US expires on (month/day/year)"

Do we just N/A these fields?

In case it matters, we are using FireFox.

Thanks.

Hi, I have no idea, I need my question answered before I can look at the document... Do you have an answer to my question?

No, a permanent resident is not considered a US citizen.
