You have to file AR-11 within 10 days of moving to new address. This can be done online for free.

 

Your spouse (sponsor) should file I-865 within 30 days of moving to new address. This can only be done by mail, but there is no fee to pay.

 

You should do both now, despite of I-751 filing where you'd use the new address.

 

You have to keep updating address with AR-11 every time you move until you naturalize.

 

Your spouse has to keep updating address with I-865 until you reached 40 quarters of work (SSA) or become a US citizen.

I assume we get a new GC with the extension as in the extension letter ? or do we just use the extension letter ?

Just wondering if we have to travel outside the US during this period. Can we just use the extension letter to get inside the US.

 

Thanks

You MUST use the expired Green Card along with the extension letter.  The extension letter is worthless without the expired card.

Wife used her original extension letter with expired Green Card to re-enter the US.  No issues.

I-751

 

Sent package 10/25

USCIS received by USPS 10/26

Extension letter received in mail: 11/6/2023.  Extension letter good for 48 months.

 

The United States is now a country obsessed with the worship of its own ignorance.  Americans are proud of not knowing things.  They have reached a point where ignorance, is an actual virtue.  To reject the advice of experts is to assert autonomy, a way for Americans to insulate their increasingly fragile egos from ever being told they're wrong about anything.  It is a new Declaration of Independence: no longer do we hold these truths to be self-evident, we hold all truths to be self-evident, even the ones that arent true.  All things are knowable and every opinion on any subject is as good as any other.  The fundamental knowledge of the average American is now so low that it has crashed through the floor of "uninformed", passed "misinformed", on the way down, and now plummeting to "aggressively wrong."

Update:

 

11/6 received letter saying biometrics could be reused.

 

still no sign of extension letter. But I did go online and look. Is our service center the one listed on that letter? I got the Nebraska service center listed on mine. 
 

(I’ve had interview for everything so far.)
