Any way to check what address USCIS has on file?

My wife is getting all her ducks in a row to naturalize (she is a current legal permanent resident). We have moved since arriving in the US and will move again just prior to starting the naturalization process. 
 

For the life of me, I can’t find any proof that we have submitted the first change of address to USCIS. We both have USCIS accounts set up and forgetting to do something like this is not like us at all. I don’t think we’ve forgotten, I just can’t prove to myself that we actually have. 
 

Is there any way to check and see the address that is currently on file for us? If it’s not updated then I know we need it to update to immediately. But I don’t want to update it if it was already updated 2 years ago correctly. 
 

Is there any where we can check this to put our minds at ease?

There is not.

 

I would not worry about it. I would provide a stable mailing address for N-400. If you were her I-864 sponsor, you need to file I-865 after she moves.

The problem is I can’t remember if we both actually submitted our change of address when we moved the first time. The move was also out of state, to the state we are now and will be applying for her citizenship from. She will need to be a resident of this state (she already is) for 90 days to apply for her citizenship here. 
 

We will be moving again, within the the same state we are now, right before we are eligible to submit her documents to apply for citizenship, at which point we would both need to update our addresses again as well. 
 

Not being able to remember if we ever submitted our first change of address from the previous state and not being able to verify the current address anywhere leaves me with a few options. 
 

1. Update our address to where we are now as if we never did it when we first moved. The risk is that we had already done it and it triggers something strange in the system

2. Do nothing until we move again in a few months and update our addresses then. The risk is that if we hadn't done this before when we first moved, then USCIS wouldn’t see her as a resident of this state for 90 days and any proof that she was puts us in violation of not updating our address. It also delays when we can apply. 
 

I just can’t believe there’s no way to check what address they have for us or to see what forms I’ve submitted with them before and on what date. 
 

Maybe there is a way I can request a form to be mailed to me? I can still receive mail from the previous address, so wherever it arrives would be my answer.

If you don't have proof (receipt) of AR-11 request, treat it as if you never filed it.

 

I'd update the address now and in few months after moving. Both times - AR-11. If you were moving in 3 days, I wouldn't bother, but few months is significant amount of time in my opinion.

 

On N-400 use the latest address after you move.

 

Make sure to update driver licenses / state IDs to match that address.

Thanks, I thought more about it last night, and we will just both update our address with USCIS today. The way I'm seeing it is if I hadn't done it before, then we're making things right. If we had done it before, then maybe it looks weird in their system, but we had already done the right thing, and if ever question we aren't in the wrong because we already did the right thing at the right time. 

 

I was operating under the assumption that we would need to specify a date of our move on the form, but upon checking the forms I realized it doesn't ask that. If it did, it would put us in a position of either needing to admit our fault or misrepresent the date of our move. I know the severity of misrepresenting information and would not do so, but it's a moot point anyways as the date isn't asked for.
