Hi all - my wife and I have moved states across the country. I applied to CSC and now live in NJ. I provided my relative's address, who lives in NJ as well, as my mailing address in the application. Do I need to submit change of address for the purpose of my application?

You can change it easily online: https://egov.uscis.gov/coa/addressChange.do 

 

So probably best to keep USCIS updated :)

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

I should have clarified. I know of this form. I am concerned about triggering a change of address when my mailing address can stay the same (my relative's address). My first green card got lost in the mail due to mail forwarding so I am just a little wary of changing addresses unless absolutely required... Thoughts?

If you want to stay on the safe side due to your prior experience (re: missing green card) and that you can maintain your relative's address as your mailing address, that's all good. However, changing your address with USCIS does not trigger mail forwarding because they will send the mails directly to your most updated address NOT to the initial address and then only to be forwarded to the new one. Either way, it's up to you :)

Makes sense, thanks a lot!
