Hi guys

N400 filed March 20th 2014 - Bio is done - no news from the interview yet. The applicant has moved to a different address . Should they change the address or wait until they get the letter in their old address since according to others posts/experience at any day a letter should arrive. The applicant will provide the new address on their appointment day. Or if they have to change address what are the safes way to change address so that they make sure its changed? This is because the folks working with the immigration are not always in good mode.

This has happen to a friend , She migrated to US 30+ years ago, well after 30 years she decided to fly out and needed a pass to cross the port. She applied for her naturalization cert, denied, you are citizen, WHAT? however you are PR, apply for N400, ok. Applied for N400, paid all the fees, interview day, sorry you are already a citizen, WHAT? Here this is a doc apply for passport, Nice! Applied for passport, denied, you have to apply for naturalization cert then passport, WHAT? finally she got her passport after 9 months and NO fees has been refunded!

I went thru the same thing. My job moved me from KY to Missouri while my case was pending for an Interview. I waited out till I received my interview letter and after the interview I changed my address to my new address in Missouri. I might have done something technically wrong but it made it much more easier.

1- if the applicant has moved to a different state, there is a problem. It's clear from the instructions that the applicant has to live in the same state for 90 days before applying, but I've read about a few cases where the interviewer denied the application because the applicant switched states after applying. I'm not sure if this is an actual rule or if it's a "bad mood" thing.

2- technically, every time a temporary or a permanent resident has a change of address, he or she is required to notify USCIS within 10 days by filing an AR-11 form. Please see the link below, specifically the Permanent Residents section. Under that you'll find instructions on what to do if you are a permanent resident with a pending case.

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/F2en.pdf

Note: "If you are a permanent resident, you are required by law to notify us of your change of address within 10 days after moving to a new address." This could cause a problem if, during the interview, the applicant tells the officer that he or she moved a few weeks ago.

Guys,

The applicant has not moved to a different state - They just moved one block from where they lived before. No interview letter has arrived yet. Should they wait until they get the letter or should they change the address? The applicant still has access to the old address/post box.

Do you think waiting for interview letter and let the office know that they have moved from one street to the other or the applicant must notify USCIS, If yes, Then how should she/he proceed?

Please add your thoughts here.... Thank you!
