Address change for both USC and fiance b4 filing AOS

[Bashorun 1]

Thanks Peter&Dana, for given the right answer to the question Olutayo posted becos U have been in the same situation before and that makes U perfect with ur answer and well not allow that cos I found what U said here right with what I know too.

It is good to always be ready to help people but pls lets not give them the wrong answer in the process of wanting to do that, always wanting to show we know it all. I remember I once had a confrontation with ET-US2004 about the difference between I-864 affidavit of support and I-134 and he made me look stupid just becos I was trying to correct mistakes that some people make here. I know he won't remember this but since then I have always read ur post and U're always like know it all dude. U've been in here for long but that doesn't make U an immigration officer. That's why I like Yodrak better, becos he says what he knows and never impose it on U, he will rather advise U to find out more. Pls lets always do this.

Maybe I read this wrong but I thought the fiance will be going to live at the new address when he arrives. If this is the case the "new" address will be the address on his I-94 and then on his AOS. Then, I thought the only person moving was the USC which for AOS I did not think her address change would matter unless she moved after she files the AOS.

If the new address is used for the fiance when he arrives and for all of his forms then he wouldn't have to send in an address change. I think the issue came because there will be a different address on the I-129F (the OP's "old" address) and I thought the OP was wondering about the apparent conflict between the two, but maybe I just read it wrong. I thought she was the only person moving and that he will go to the new place when he arrives and will be filiing from there. Maybe I am just confused.

K.

You're not confused. This is how I read it as well, and I know I wasn't mistaken in my post, but I gave up on wrestling with VJ posters long ago. So, my suggestion is, if you know your new address now and your new fiance has not arrived in the country, both of you should start using your new address on every form you fill out from now on and you'll have zero problems.

Yup. Zero.

I'm done with this thread.

So Peter$Dana, k-quandry,ET-2004 and others. All these interchange of ideas has totally left be confused.

Pls can you break this down in lame man terms.

I got the apartment for the beginning of April 1st,2006.I still live at my current address. If he comes into the country after April 1st, he goes to the new apartment that i got on April 1st.

Does he have to fill out the form AR-11 as soon as he gets in before filing the AOS after the marriage?

I will be moving in with him after the wedding scheduled for later in April.

Does this make sense now?

Okay ,hope it is a little clearer.

No, he will not need to file form AR-11 if he moves into the new apartment immediately upon his arrival and if he puts the address of that apartment on the I-94 when he gets here.

That said, what you want to avoid is having one address on the I-94 and another on the I-485 w/o ever having filed the AR-11 to advise USCIS of the change of address. Also, later on an AR-11 needs to be filed each and every time an alien moves from one address to another whether that alien has any application pending with USCIS at the time of the move or not.

Many have failed to file the AR-11 in such situations and have gotten away with it. Some derive from that experience that the AR-11 does not need to be filed under such circumstances. That's like me saying that just because I haven't gotten a ticket for doing 80+ on a 55 strech of I-71 on my way into work this morning, it is okay to speed. Which, of course, it is not. I just got lucky not to get caught.

Correct!

He will fill out the I-94 slip (which he hands to the Officer at the POE and they input this info into a computer) with the NEW address. Thats' it!

Then you just carry on as normal with this address, use it for the AOS and all future dealings with USCIS. No AR-11 to worry about for you hubby Put this down as your address also, as you will be living there when you actually file the AOS.
