Hi all. I submitted my wife's petition from Manila back in sept 2018. i got the nOA1, nothing else so far. It says to change address if I move. I will be at my current location---the one I filed from here in New Mexico---until June 1 2020. AFter that I am moving back east. I am under the nebraska center here. My question is...if I move BEFORE I get the noa2 or after I get it....will the government send my documents to Vermont center? Meaning...will I start all over and be put at the bottom on the pile for moving...2 years after I started the petition? (assuming it takes that long)?

 

Thanks

Where you live has no bearing on where your petition is processed. Address update is needed for the accurate communication. If you don't change the address with USCIS, you will not receive the mail notices USCIS sends you.
