Address change not reflected with USCIS

[SmileSunShine 1]

We just received a reminder letter from USCIS for Removing Conditions on Residency. There is a problem on the address. They still mailed the letter to my wife with the old address. Last year, we did the AR-11 for my wife on-line and we have the confirmation page printed. I also did the I-865 form as the sponsor’s address change. I used certified mail and I have the return receipt. We don’t know why USCIS still has the old address for my wife. Do we need to do something to correct that? Thanks.

There are many many many topics about this. Always good to do a search before posting.

The ROC reminder letter is sent to the address you filed AOS at. The address database for that is not updated so no, you don't need to do anything. Completely normal.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I didn't do the research. More questions, so USCIS DOES have our new address somewhere, right? Do we need to include the copies of address change confirmations when we file form I-751?

No need to attach copies of address change filed. Just ensure that you have the latest address in the application. And also provide all the addresses for the 1 year 9 months to 2 years period in a separate sheet attached to the application, if answer to question 22 is YES.

I did just because they sent us an AR-11 form and it was like an insult to me. They also included the returned envelop from the USPS with the old address and the reminder letter. I was actually surprised to receive the remnder lettter. So I sent in the confirmation page for the AR-11 and my I-797 for the I-865 change of address as well. Just to show them that we complied with their rules.

Completely normal.

Thanks for the info. Did you get an I-797 for I-865? I didn't get any. They just returned the return receipt.

Also, did they send you the AR-11 after you filed I-751?

Yes, I received an I-797C after filing the I-865 that stated they had received my change of address. The AR-11 was with the reminder letter and it was a very blury photo copy which I think is what really pissed me off--they could not bother to send a good copy of the form for me to use.

Is it a problem that they didn't send me the I-797C?

You have the return receipt to show that you sent in the form. As long as you sent it to the correct location based on the new address, you can prove that you complied with the law. The I-797C does indicate that they not only received the form, but processed it too. You could send in another form and see if it gets processed--I would not bother doing return receipt, I would put ordinary first class postage on it. As a USC there is not much they can do to you and I do not think there is a fine associated with not filing. In the instructions it does say to keep a completed copy of the submitted form and proof you submitted it. The USCIS will accept the USPS return receipt and the copy as proof you comply with this requirement.

So you are good to go.
