Is it better to change address after AOS than during?

[billding 59]

Currently in San Antonio, looking to move north in a couple of months. Should I hold off moving until after AOS (K1 process is done up to the receiving of green card)?

 

I understand that any changes in address have to be reported to USCIS, will I still have to do this while waiting to do ROC? Will my fiance have to report change of address after receiving conditional gc?

So there's really no reason to wait to move?

If you need to move, go ahead and do it.

 

If AOS is being processed by time you move, change the address with USCIS so correspondence can reach your end when they send you NOAs. If you have not filed for AOS yet, by the time you move, it may be better to file once you have a new domicile (you could be doing this the moment you sign your lease/deed), in essence whenever you know your new address and you know it's not going to change. 

 

If y'all move again after AOS, the beneficiary will have to update their address with USCIS each time, and will file ROC with the address used at that time. Makes sense? You could move 5 times after a GC is issued, those five times need to be reported each time and then you complete documents with current address for whatever next step comes your way.

Whenever you end up moving, I'd recommend setting up mail forwarding with USPS.  Even if you send a change of address form promptly, sometimes USCIS will send important documents to an old address.  People have missed biometrics appointments, RFEs, and even interviews because of this.

And, you as the USC must report your address change for as long as your i864 is in effect

Every time you and your wife move you have to report to USCIS, this doesn't stop until she obtains U.S. citizenship.    It isn't related to the I-864 but to being an LPR  (legal permanent resident)

 

The online process is simple and easy to do.

The USCs address change requirement is solely related to the i864.  Please refer to the i865

There is also 40 quarters of qualifying work credits (including double stacking credits) from the USC spouse .  Depending on how the math works.  Could be as early as 5 years.  Most people say 10 years which assumes the USC doesn't miss a qualified quarter in that time frame.  My first i864 terminated at about 7 years after adding together her earned credits and my double stacking credits we were above 40

Correct.  Like I stated earlier .. as long as she is a green card (LPR - Legal Permanent Resident) holder USCIS must be kept informed of current address.      Once she has U.S. citizenship USCIS ends.

Be sure to file COA with USCIS and USPS.

How many NOAs/correspondence will be sent by USCIS there during the AOS? I understand it may vary with RFEs but how many without?
