Moving to a different State and filing I-485

[VladS500 11]

Hello everyone just wanted to ask if it would be okay to move to a different state to file for adjustment of status. My wife from Ukraine had her I-94 expire and we want to move to Washington state from Delaware, my question is if we drive it wont be an issue for her? and is it ok to file at a different state?

Hopefully your wife came here on a K-1, and you were married here in the states. She is "out of status" with the expired I-94, but usually not a issue as long as she adjusts her status relatively soon.

Moving is not a issue. Just be sure and complete the appropriate change of address forms for her, AND you. AR-11 for her, and I-865 for petitioner/sponsor is what there called.

Also file change of address with your local post office. I say this because even though we filled out, and submitted our AR-11, and I-865 when we moved...USCIS still sent some things to our old address, and some thing to our new address. If it were not for the post office forwarding our mail...who knows what would have happened.

If you have not filed for AOS yet, then just use your new address on your AOS forms. If you move again after filing for AOS, then the immigrant needs to submit an AR-11 change of address within 10 days of moving. It can be submitted online.

An I-865 for the USC is not needed unless they have already submitted an I-864 that is in force.
