I have already filed for I-130 and I-129F for my wife and received NOA1 for both. I am planning to move and call/notify USCIS of my address change. How does this affect my case? Will the processing get delayed?

When your petition is at a service center you should call the NCSC toll-free number 1800 375 5283 to report a change of address. Just ensure that they indeed do change it. If there is delays in them updating it in the system it can cause delays if say eg they send out a RFE to the old address. The best advice is if possible to arrange for redirection of mail. Do they do that there? If not, I would also email your service center with the change of address details but also check back with them via the above phone number to ensure that indeed the change of address has been updated.

Thanks KHURRAM SERAJ.

By mail redirection, are you referring to mail-forwarding? If so, then I don't think USPS forwards USCIS mails.

Also can you tell me what is the email address for the service centers?

They do not redirect USCIS mail. I changed mine via the change of address form while AOS pending. We had no issues.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

ras001,

The service centers do not have e-mail addresses available to the general public. Write to them by post using the appropriate address that you can find on each service center's page of the USCIS web site.

I called USCIS yesterday to update my mailing address and got a confirmation number. Do you think I should send paper mail as well?
