ROC AND CHANGE OF ADDRESS

[Nyosh 5]

Hey guys,

I received my reminder letter for ROC but it had been sent to my previous address, thankfully, the person who moved into that address, we keep in touch and he forwarded the letter to my new address. I filled the AR-11 last year and mailed it to USCIS but its like they never changed my address coz I didnt have a case pending. I even called to confirm that they received my new address and they confirmed it was changed . Now, I received an AR-11 Form to file for a change of address again .Im sending my ROC paperwork soon, should I include a copy of the AR-11 and also mail the same to their Kentucky office like they asked me to do???

Did you also submit the I-865 for the USC sponsor on the I-864? That needs to be done as well. I did the AR-11 on-line rather than mailing it in for my wife. The I-865 has to be mailed in. When you file for ROC the USCIS should use the address you put on the application as your current address. I would not worry about it until it has been several weeks and you do not receive your NOA1 for ROC. Like I said, one would hope they use the address you put on the application for ROC. At least you have a way to get mail at the old address; that is a very big plus.

Good luck,

Dave

Hey Dave, yes i did file the I-865 last year in May and USCIS sent me a confirmation mail that it was received. I also did my AR-11 online. I guess I will just mail the AR-11 form like they requested. Hope they change they update their records.

Okay, I have a question now, because it's the second time I see someone talking about this form I-865 today.

We moved to our current address in 2010 and I did the change of address online and this year I got the reminder to file for ROC but it was sent to our old address too. I thought it was weird, so I mailed the change of address this time and added a copy of the AR-11 I did online and highlighted the date so they would see I sent it 2 days BEFORE we moved, and when we sent our ROC in May and we added a copy of that as well.

They sent my NOA and Biometrics letter to our current address.

But we didn't know about this form I-865, we didn't see anything about that on the AR-11 page when we did the AR-11 online so my husband never mailed it.

Will we get in trouble for that???

The requirement for filing the I-865 is mentioned in the I-864 instructions on page 4 near the bottom and it is a requirement for the USC. Maybe the LPR's file is not totally updated unless the I-865 is also filed, but other than that there is not a whole lot they can do to the USC as there is no mention of fines.

I would just file the I-865 and keep the NOA1 when it arrives. I scanned mine into the computer like everything else in this process and it is on more than two locations for back-up.

No worries,

Dave

I changed my address online in 2011 too and mailed the I-865 and I got a letter from USCIS acknowledging change of address for my sponsor. I guess they dont update their records at all. Will also add a copy of the AR-11 with my paperwork. I think its a good idea if you would mail the I-865 with a copy of your AR-11, just for their records. Good luck.
