What to do after wrong address green card? (merged)

[randy32 165]

Change online and also at CBP on entry.

I know from someone else's experience, changing at CBP, the green card might still go to the wrong address.

 

As has been mentioned previously redundancy is the best approach.

Hello Randy thank you. Question, do you think that the fact the mailing address was added on the name of the person living there and the street was added in the address field would be a problem they didn’t notice? E. G it appears like this:

 

name of the person living here : 10972 NW. 

u.S address : 77 th . Zip code city state all correct

Hello everyone! Excuse me, if I'm opening a topic about something I talked about earlier; It happens that I asked other users and they encouraged me to reopen a topic but asking this question.

Unfortunately, in my brother's 260 application, the address had an error. The address to receive the GC and SSA card was written in the area ''Name of the person who lives here'' and in the address part it was wrote only the street number. Because of that, I was advised to tell him try to fix it at the POE. 

 

Talking to him, he informs me that on the page: Immigration data summary, where it says ''Final destination U.S'' the address that is wrote there, is  the petitioner's address (my father) he lives in another state. Has anyone ever experienced this? where does the green card would arrive, at the address that appears in the immigrant data summary or in the incorrect one on the DS 260?

Did he provide the correct address to the POE officer?

He hasn’t traveled yet. I’m asking to see if address listed on the immigration data summary sheet that contains the address of my father would be the one where my brother will get the green card or they will send it to the ds 260 which contains a wrong address. 
 

the address of California listed on the immigration data summary is good no problem to receive the card there. But if they send to the ds 260 i think the card would be lost on mail. So I asked to have an idea of what could happen or how serious would the problem be to get the card once he arrives

He can update his address when he enters at POA. No problem at all.

When he enters, the CBP officer processing him will probably check if the address is correct anyway, if he doesn’t get asked he just tells the officer to correct it. That will be the final address listed for sending SS and green cards.

Also, don’t you put an address down when you pay for green card issuance?

Hi. No they just ask for the alien number and case number no sending address 

[randy32 165]

Not a problem. Even better.

Some mailmen have been known to return mail that is not addressed to a known resident.

What you did has similar effect but I think the way below is the proper way.

 

1st line -  "C/O name of person living here"

2nd line - 77 th 

 

But from past experience I switch both lines. Some forms provide 2 lines for address but that does not transfer to the envelope when printed (don't know how USCIS does it)

 

1st line - 77 th 

2nd line - "C/O name of person living here"

It’s ok to create an USCIS account before he travels?

Yes it is.

You should have already had one to track all your cases with USCIS

No. All the case was filled in 2011 without online accounts. I told him to create the MYUSCIS account on the quiz of verify identity they ask: What is the passport number that you provided when you entered the U.S. on an immigrant visa? He hasn't traveled yet. That question seems to be not quite accurate to answer. 

[randy32 165]

While I had not faced that difficulty, there should be other options he is able to use to get the account created.

 

Have him explore phone and email verification options.
