Change of address while I-751 is pending status

[Sammy1980 0]

Hello all,

My wife had her biometrics appointment back in April and her case status is in pending for the I-751 (removal of conditions) - we are waiting for her approval now from Vermont Service center. We will be moving to our new house tomorrow, so wanted to know what forms are required to be filed for address change?

I know she will have to file the AR-11? Me being the sponsoring husband, do I have to file anything? Also, do we have to call them as well to get the address changed formally? Anyone who has been through this phase please advise - I don't want to make a wrong move at this stage to slow down the processing of our case or risk losing mail.

Thanks for your help.

Your wife, who is a non-U.S. citizen, must submit a Form AR-11 within 10 days after completing the change of address. You can do that on the USCIS's website. If you are going to mail the form, use the trackable method.

And because her case is pending, she must call customer service as well. It is because completing an AR-11 does not update her address on any pending case.

For you, who is a U.S. citizen, you must submit I-865.

Actually, the AR-11 on the USCIS website will also allow a change of address on a case. There is a process where you can change the address by entering your case number.

I know, but please read http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD. It advises that you call the customer service.

The idea is that when you have a pending case, you don't want to risk it. It is better to call USCIS and make sure they do have the right address. Most of the times, USCIS already have an updated address if you submitted AR-11; but you never know.

Online Change of Address Notification with a Pending Application or Petition - Step 1

Customers who have an application and/or petition which has been filed with USCIS but has not yet been decided (also known as a 'pending' case) should notify USCIS of any change of address as soon as possible after moving.

The law requires nearly all non-U.S. Citizens1 to report a change of address within 10 days of moving by completing a Form AR-11. Abiding by these legal requirements and completing the necessary forms does not update an address on any applications or petitions pending with USCIS. Non-citizens with pending cases must do both.

Most customers can now notify USCIS to change their address on a pending case online here on our website. Non-citizens can also now complete the Form AR-11 online here on our website.

If you choose to change your address online using our Online Change of Address Notification tool, you will need to have some information available. Please have the following information available before you begin:

* Your receipt notice or other notice we sent you showing your receipt number (if you have a pending case with USCIS).

* Your new address

* Your old address

* If you have filed a petition for a family member, please have the names and biographical information for that person.

* When you last entered the United States (if you cannot remember this information please fill in an approximate date)

* Where you last entered the United States (through what port of entry you entered - whether by land, sea or air)
