Filing from overseas and change of address not possible?!!

[dashaoz 0]

Yes, that's what I've just been told since the rep said that the system will not allow the zip code..?!!

We received the NOA1 back in April to our address in Turkey and while waiting for NOA2, I wanted to change my address since rental contract is done and we are definitely moving in a week. The rep told me that I can not do it and I have to contact Embassy?? What does the Embassy have to do with this? It's coming directly to my address.

Any thoughts?

This is their stupidity again, do not contact the embassy unless you are at the interview stage.

Write a letter to whoever currently has the petition advising them of the address change using the AR-11. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=c1a94154d7b3d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Sorry for the late reply Nola. I see that you went through a tough time with the paperwork! I wish you an easy one for the rest of it.

When I found this out I kinda blame myself. I could have given my parents address or a p.o box here but I didn't..

I'm thinking since I am the USC I don't need to file an AR-11, do I?

Anyways I think I'll be able to pull some strings and be able to receive any document that will come to a previous address. The problem is the NOA2 stage. I'm still waiting and I don't know when it will come. Because of NOA2, we are postponing our moving to Belarus plans. Once I have it, I definitely need to change the address then..

Well, I tried to change my USC address from abroad and they ended up changing DH's address too - a bad situation. It would be best to do it in writing with the AR-11 and be very specific about who it is for.
