Hello All, 

 

My case has been in progress, and I am the beneficiary resides in a foreign country (outside of the US).

I had to change my address and job due to the COVID19.

I've been looking for where to report my change of address. Does anyone have any idea?

 

I found AR-11 form for the change of address; however, it says it is used for the address change within the States. 

Does anybody know that foreign residents still are required to report the change of address and job during the application process? 

 

I appreciate your time!

An AR-11 is not something you will file until after you have arrived in the US and change addresses; at this juncture, there's nothing you need to do.

Ryan, 

Thanks for your reply! I really appreciate it. 

Though I feel a bit weird not reporting the changes from the initial submission...they don't investigate my information?

When you get to the consulate stage and need to fill out the DS260, you can update the address information.

 

Good Luck!

Ryan H gave you information.  You can do nothing about the beneficiary's information at this point.
