Recieved strange letter from USICS

Hello everyone. Id like to hear your opinion on the letter i just recieved from USICS. Im a November ROC filler at California Service center and 

2 weeks ago i filed AR-11 Change of Address form, filled it out correctly - put in my information, A number, working case number and old and new address. It gave me an option to print out filled out AR 11 and mail it to: USCIS Attn: Change of address, 1344 Pleasants Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22801. 

I got confused by VA address since i heard i need to mail it to the cervice center where your petition at ( CA) , but there was a note on the web site that i DO NOT need to mail an actual form if i completed online form. So i did not mailed anything. 

Soon after i recieved Email from USICS, at the top it says CALIFORNIA CERVICE CENTER and their address, it was a  confirmation of the address change in their data system.

I thought its all good and done until yesterday i got a regular mail letter from ....Texas Cervice Center ( Huh? I have never even been in Texas, and my service cenrer is California). Here is what it says in it: 

 

On ****** you contacted us about your case. Some of the key information given to us at that time was the following:

Caller indicated they are: Applicant or Petitioner 

Case type: I751

Filling date: Information is not available 

Reciept #: WAC***********

Referral ID: CA**********

A number: ********* 

Type of Service Requested: Change of Address 

 

The status of this service request is: 

After careful review of your request, it has been determined that your issues will be best addressed by the USICS office having a jurisdiction over your case. Therefore, we have taken this liberty of forwarding your service request to the California Cervice Center. If you require additional assistance, we invite you to visit our web site or call 800 number 

 

My questioins: 

1) What  Texas cervice center ( Im NOT from Texas) has to do with my AR 11 online address change form? How did it even ended up there? 

2) I still have a copy of AR11 printed, should i sign it and mail to the address in VA (not CA cervice center) which is provided on it? 

3) Or should i mail it to California Cervice center? 

4) What would be best way to make sure my address has been changed correctly? 

5) Could that letter from Texas be possible related to any other issues but the address change? 

 

Please advise me guys, trying to bring back my good mood for the weekend.

You filed your address change online, so the notice that they received it could come from anywhere. In your case it came from TSC. No big deal. Even the odd wording. Basically, they got your address change. Yay!

 

Is your timeline updated?

Wasn't sure if that is normal as I never heard of something like this even afte being on VJ for a while.

Hopefully you had your spouse as USC petitioner file I-865 as well for change of address. 

Actually not, we divorced. I bet even if I'll ask ex  spouse million times to do so, it won't happen. You think that may lead for complications with recieving notices to new address?

Hmm who knows! I just thought it's weird that it was coming from Texas, I was expecting a letter from California cervice center confirming that my address has been changed successfully, not that Texas forwarding my "issues" to CSC. Oh well!

Then no, your ex husband doesn’t need to do I-865 if he hasn’t moved. He is still under I-864 obligation until you naturalize, obtain 40 credits for work, leave country permanently or die.

Probably they've forwarded it to make sure they update you at CSC as well! Maybe this was the "missing" step for people who updated their address but still got their mail sent to the wrong address!

That's an interesting point! Thank you for clearing the things up! I was already looking for info pass apps as I have to admit the long wait and uncertainty started to hit me with anxiety.

I can't be in control of nobody's actions but my own though. How this might affect me?

It shouldn't affect you. You're right, you can't be held responsible for his actions anymore!  :) Just make sure you're doing all the things you're supposed to do and USCIS should be fine.
