Change of Address

[Mrs. Dea 10]

Good Day from the I-130 instruction form it reads:

"A petitioner who is not a U.S. citizen must notify USCIS of his or her new address within 10 days of moving  from his or her previous residence"

Just to be clear; does this mean there is no requirement for the beneficiary to update address if he/she moves also or this is just for the petitioner. We are doing consular filing process.

Correct for this stage. At later stages the beneficiary will have the requirement to notify address changes. The I130 is about the petitioner and the relationship with the beneficiary.

Anybody currently living in the US who is NOT a US citizen is required to update their address within 10 days when they move.

Requirement : living in the US OP is referring to the first stage of Consular processing .. when only the petitioner is in the US at this stage .. Once the beneficiary arrives in the US they must THEN report address changes
