old address new address

Question, when we got the conditional green card we were living in old house that we rented; however, in May 2011 we bought a house (under my name due to credit issues), do we have to make any sort of cover letter to explain about two addresses as in old address vs. new address for the ROC. What would you do in this case?

The ROC form asks about prior addresses and, if needed, you will just submit a separate sheet of paper listing all prior addresses.

I have the same situation as well. However in this case do you also fill out the "Electronic Form - AR-11" (Change of Address). I read on USCIS.gov that a change of address should be done within ten days of moving to a new address. I have not done that since I moved to the new address. Would it be sufficient for me just to include a separate sheet of paper listing all prior addresses?

Thanks.

File the AR-11 on-line and print the confirmation page. You are SUPPOSE to notify the USCIS of your address change within 10 days. Just like you are suppose to notify the DMV. Also the USC must file the I-865 form when they change address and have an I-864 in force. That is also supose to be done within 10 days of moving. I personally would file both change of addresses ASAP and then list the new address on the form with the old address as previous. This is one of those small details of this process that most people forget about or did not read about it.

Thanks "Dave&Roza" for the update.

One follow up - You mentioned about the I-865 this form is supposed to be filled by USCIS? or do I need to fill and send the document in?

Regards,

You are making it more complicated than really is. Just answer the questions on the 3 pages I751 form. Simple as that.

Just fyi: if you move DURING the I751 processing time, odd are you will receive a RFE as it did happen to me. I believe they want to see if you and your spouse moved to this "new address" together.

Making a clear timeline on your marriage is very important.
