Military orders moving in 3 weeks

[CourtneyRox 25]

So looks like my husband and I will be moving from IL to NC during our ROC!!! We sent off our paper work in March to California Service Center, however we are moving to a State that is Serviced by the Vermont Service Center... Anyone have an idea of how this will effect our application timeframe and will they have to transfer my file to Vermont or just finish it in California? Also, we won't have an address until we are there, I was thinking of opening a PO BOX on base in NC just before we leave so that we can have all our mail forwarded ... I'd contact USCIS and give them the PO BOX as our mailing address...However I'm stumped on what to give them for our home address, since we maybe living in lodging for a while waiting on housing to be available. Would I just give them the address of the lodge on base? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, especially if you have gone through something similar to this! I'm going to assum this isn't worthy of being expedited ... Or is it?

I don't think that it matters...with regard to which service center processes your paperwork..it has nothing to do with where you live. There are only 4 service centers. As for address...contact USCIS or NVC and ask them what is appropriate. They'll make a recommendation. Theoretically, they don't like PO boxes...but, if that's all you have, under the conditions, I believe that they would accept that. You can also go on line to USCIS and look up "CHANGE ADDRESS." They have guidelines posted there. I recently changed my address...they sent an acknowledgement. You may be worrying too much. Besides, they will also send you an email of any status change...as long as you requested that service. It is available to you.

Best of luck!!!

you can also call the military helpline. We didn't move in the middle of the AOS, so I don't know how that will work out.
