Change of Address and other.

[Mrs. Dea 10]

Hello

 

So my husband and I have decided on moving when I get to the US. The current address was the one submitted on the DS 260 form where it asked where I would like my green card mailed. I have not had the interview as yet, what is the best way to go about changing the address to the new place we plan to live? Should I tell the CO at the interview about this planned move and give the him/her the new address there ?

 

Also, we are concerned about not finding work right away, I have a good job in my country and we are also thinking that I would enter before the time the medical lapse and then come back to my country to continue work until my green card arrives and also search for work in the meantime. Any implications of entering and then leaving before my GC arrives here?

 

Please advise.

Thank you.

Not an issue. Upon entry, the CBP-endorsed Immigrant Visa is a I-551 document: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/temporary-i-551-stamps-and-mrivs

Note you should keep your time away from USA to less than 6 months (at a time).  Otherwise they might think you have Abandoned your  Permanent Resident Status

True for continuous residence requirement for naturalization. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3

 

For entry, in practice it isn't an issue as long as the absence isn't more than 1 year: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-820?language=en_US
