Address change after CR1 visa and before POE

[lansk 16]

Hello,
 

My spouse is heading to US this Friday on CR1 visa. Her Mailing address is now different from what we have provided in DS-260 address. What should we do now to make ensure that she received green card in our current new address?

Raise it at POE when they’re entering information in the SAVE system. 
 

File AR-11 (on USCIS.gov) after arrival. 
 

when paying for green card issuance, use a new address. 
 

Add spouse’s name to the mailbox.

Agreed.

 

To the OP:

The most important part is filing Change of address online even after updating the address at POE. My friend’s GC and SS Card were sent to the address listed on DS260 even though they provided new address at POE probably due to not changing the address with the USCIS.

Does OP have to file AR-11 even if the address is updated with USCIS after POE? 
 

Like in my case, I updated it at POE and called USCIS up two days later to check and they had the updated address with them. I’d imagine not needing to file the AR-11 then.
