Moving right after the interview… should I disclose this during interview?

[INF 96]

Really need help guys!! I am married to a USCitizen and have our interview scheduled for July 26 week. PD is Aug 18, 2020. The issue is I am going to back to school for grad school in North Carolina and we have gotten an apartment there. We will split time between both places and will keep our Michigan place as our primary residence. Our licenses say Michigan address and that’s what we submitted our application with. We own the Michigan place. 

Our lease for the apartment in North Carolina started July 24 and we will be moving in July 30. Should we be mentioning this during the interview if they ask if there was a change in address? My husband will work remotely and both our names are on the North Carolina lease and our house in Michigan.

There's always the chance the officer will want to transfer your case to the new office since your physical address is changing. My interview started with the officer asking me what was my current physical address. 

 

Since you're keeping the old place, just explain the situation.

You are not going away for school until after the interview. = No change of address needed

You are not giving up your place in Michigan or transferring your DL to North Carolina. = No change of address needed again

 

Would would be renting a place and going to school but the stay is temporary and you own your place in Michigan. = No change of address needed again.  Keep your Michigan address and have a trust worthy person check your mail often and send you the card. 

 

Now if the IO asks questions about plans and school feel free to expand on it. 

Your current address is what they want, you are a Michigan resident and you said yourself it will be your primary resident.

Fellow Canadian here too! Thanks, this makes a lot of sense.
