We currently have his Green card and are doing the 2 year wait until we can do the next step. We have moved and i'm wondering if we have to report that to anyone? And if so who?

Also, when he got his green card he got a thing saying "welcome to the country you can now be drafted" and we have to mail that back, what happens if we don't?

We were married in Washington in August, we submitted our I-485, I130, I765, and I131 in Sept of 06 to the Chicago Lock Box, and got our Green card in January 07!!! Found this was much faster and easier than going through the K1 process.

Yes, you need to contact DHS in writing with your new address within 10 days of each time you move.

Males between 18 and 26 yrs of age must register with the Selective Service.

What is DHS? And what happens if its been over 10 days. Its been a few months I just didn't think about it until now.

DHS - Department of Homeland Security

I would contact them asap.

Yeah i feel dumb for asking what DHS is hahaha. I was thinking of DSHS for some reason and thinking what do they have to do with this.

You need to file form AR-11 for the Greencard Holder and form I-865 for the sponsor (if they have moved as well).... the AR-11 can be done on-line the I-865 has to be mailed.... The forms can be found here http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

You have to register for the draft it is a condition of your greencard....

Nothing will happen, as these so-called "AR-11s" are consigned straight to the bin.

I'd still send it in though, just to be on the safe side.

I sent mine in a couple of months after we have moved and I had no problems...

you can fill out the AR-11 online now.... https://egov.immigration.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa

but the I-865 you still have to mail in.....

How Do I Report My Change of Address?

If you are not a U.S. citizen, changing your address for legal purposes does not change your address on any application or petition pending with USCIS and changing your address on a pending application or petition does not meet the legal requirements of informing USCIS of your change of address. You will need to do both. For most cases, you can now do both at the same time on our website using the Electronic Change of Address tool (available under "Related Links" on this page).

With the exception noted above, all non-U.S. citizens who move within the United States and its territories must submit a Form AR-11 within 10 days after completing the change of address. You can do that here on our website with the Electronic Change of Address tool. If you choose to use this online tool, you can complete an electronic Form AR-11 and notify USCIS to update your address on most pending cases.

If you choose not to complete an electronic Form AR-11, you will be required to obtain a paper Form AR-11 and mail it to the address shown on the form. This will delay the process of notifying USCIS significantly. Not filing an electronic AR-11 and choosing to mail in a paper AR-11 will not update your address on any applications or petitions pending with USCIS.

Regardless of whether or not you are a U.S. citizen, if you choose not to use the electronic change of address notification, you will need to call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to request that the address on your pending application/petition be changed. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will also need to complete a paper Form AR-11.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and you have a case pending with USCIS, you will need to do both – call customer service and complete the paper AR-11. Completing an AR-11 does not update your address on any pending case. Also, notifying customer service does not meet the legal requirement of completing an AR-11.

If you mail a paper Form AR-11, we recommend using certified, registered or return receipt mail. This is not currently a requirement of USCIS, however it is advisable to send the AR-11 by a method that will give you documentation that you did mail the form to USCIS, in case there should ever be a question.

Why would there be any problems? It's not like they know where you live. They only know what you tell them.
