My wife finally made it to the USA on 9/8/17.  Thanks to everyone that assisted us in making it through this long arduous process.  Thankful that it's over and that we get to begin our lives together!!

 

I do have a couple questions that maybe someone can answer.

 

I recently had a change in residence.  All of our paperwork has my old address.  What do I need to do to change the address?  Will the green card come automatically to my old address?  What next?

 

Thanks a million for your continued support guys!

 

Have an awesome day,

Toby & Quennie

You can update your address online at the USCIS website.  I will get you a link, quick and easy to do.  ;)  

 

Very likely if the new address does not catch up with the green card it will be mailed to the old address, hustle and get the address updated.

I finally got through to the USCIS Officer regarding our case.  He was very strict when it came to speaking with my wife since this is now her case.  Very strict.  In face, at one point, i tried to answer a question for her because she did not know the answer.  He threatened to end the call and require us to have an interview at a USCIS field office.  At any rate, we were able to change the mailing address related to my wife's LPR case by telephone.

 

Thanks for your continued help.

 

I guess the next item of business is to get her Social Security Card, State Identification Card, and get her started on her license.
