Accidentally filed AR-11 Late

[PatrickRoberta 2]

Okay so since my wife received her Green Card we have moved twice. I know that we are required to notify USCIS when we move.  I only recently learned about the 10 day time requirement. I was under the impression it was mostly for if they needed to mail you something. The first time we moved we filed the AR-11 maybe a week late. The second time it was a few months late. None of the paperwork I have from USCIS mentions 10 days!! Surely this is a pretty common occurrence. We have a child now. Are they actually deporting people for this? This was an honest mistake.

You are fine, don’t worry too much.

When my ex-husband moved out of our old home together, he did not know he had to file an AR-11. He had always relied on me to do all the immigration stuff. When he filed for citizenship shortly after we broke up, he discovered he should have filed the AR-11 several months after the application was already in. No difference to his application. That you did it was the important thing. You will not be deported.

A sponsor is also required to complete and mail an I-865 after moving.

A friend of mine was approved for his Citizenship although he moved 2 times and he didn't file AR-11.

I filed it and called UCSIS multiple times and they haven't changed our address yet (and it's been since July), so even if you filed it on time, it might not have even mattered.

Lol yes, it’s always “hurry up and wait” with them isn’t it?

My personal experience was that they didn't care about the AR-11, i moved 3-4 times, since i got my green card, to when i filed my citizenship, no questions were asked, so you should be fine that you have filed this.

You’re good.  They’re watching all of us anyway

Seriously you filed it, it’s done.  There is a separate one for the sponsor to file.  Beneficiary can file online, we have to file by mail.
