Hello, my husband is a US citizen. We applied July 20 to the Chicago office and they received it July 23. I did the biometrics on August 22.  We live in Seattle and are looking to move to another apartment in Seattle.

 

There are some reports I’ve read on google of it slowing down their application or causing them to miss mail.

 

Will updating our address, slow down or otherwise harm our application?

Has anyone had experience with this before?

 

Thank you

It depends--
If you move and don't update ur address correctly, you DEFINITELY will miss mail, which is not good to do with USCIS
Because for instance, EAD's cost like $400? to replace/send back to you... and getting them to send stuff back to you is an absolute headache. 

The people that complain about slow down/harming...
IF you move from an otherwise fast office to a slow one, then yes. U are kind of screwed because ur local office has jurisdiction over your case.

If, in ur case, it sounds like you're just moving a block and will stay in the same "Seattle" office, then you got nothing to worry about.

As a note- moving really doesn't negatively affect a case-- unless you don't do it in a timely manner then you have a headache of some sorts.

Hello . So like I promised . I had my interview today at Charlotte NC . It was very fast , first after the security you have to wait in the information office there they give us our number for the appointment and they directed us to the appointment waiting room .

The officer was very nice and kind

She asked first for our passports and my husband (citizen) ID. 

1-She asked to my husband where and when we met .

2- she asked when and where we get married

3- when we arrived in the USA with the k1 visa and k2 and where

4-she asked my husband if he knows my father and my mother names

5- she asked my hubby my city of birth and citizenship

6- if he knows my daughter (k2) birthday

7-she asked our address here in the USA

8- she asked to my daughter my husband Full name

And after it was just security questions

She asked if I had more docs to add to our case

I just brought wedding pictures she looks at them and kept one( she said she loves my dress 😉)

She took our pictures and fingerprints

And said she going to review all the docs and make her decision.🤝

She was very friendly I was very blessed.

On my way home 30mn after I checked on the app and surpriiiiiiiiiiiise

And my status changed to

"  new card is being processed...."

Very blessed day thank Jesus 

My miracle .🙏🏿

Have copy and original of every docs in case that you submitted . And if you already submitted the medical report exam it's ok you don't need it for the appointment it's only if you didn't. Join bank account statement , insurance etc......jeans /blouse and heels

Hey guys, I’m a bit confusing here coz I went to the DMV office to apply DL here in California and they told me I’m not eligible coz my I-94 is expired,  unless I have a EAD or green card,  is this the same requirement as yours? Do I have another option to get a driving license or permit or whatever it is to drive legally at the moment? 

Yes, we were at the DMV in the Bay Area and was told we couldn’t use the I-94 as it had less than 30 days to expiration. I was told to wait for the EAD or Green card, was told the same thing at the SSN office when we went to change my wife’s last name. So my wife just uses her passport for everything until we get the green card

FYI...We received online notice Friday 9/14 that our case is ready to be scheduled for interview....so far notice has not come in the mail, we're waiting.

Biometrics were completed on 8/30.  (North Carolina - Charlotte)

Congratulations @Ana Maria you guys will be sailing through to your interview soon! I might just have to ask to use your address soon  VA/DC is moving at snails pace and that's being generous.

Woke up this morning to an email saying there was a change in our status.  Logged on to USCIS and it said my wife and daughter's green card interview was scheduled!  I am shocked we could get an interview so quickly at the Baltimore office (filed in July and biometrics August 9).  The website doesn't say what the date is, just that a letter will be sent.  Hopefully this is not a mistake!

Congratulations! @JasonGG
