Change of address during I-751 filing

[roscove 0]

Hello all,

I have submitted my I-751 to the CSC. I have not yet received a case number (No NOA etc). I am now moving. I called the USCIS and got told for them to process the change of address with a case pending that is less that 45 days submitted I need to submit an AR-11 AND fill in the change of address on-line.

The website for the on-line change of address filing does not seem to match this.

Can anyone help me understand how I make sure my I-751 case gets the new address?

Thanks,

Dave

If you are not a U.S. citizen, changing your address for legal purposes does not change your address on any application or petition pending with USCIS and changing your address on a pending application or petition does not meet the legal requirements of informing USCIS of your change of address. You will need to do both. For most cases, you can now do both at the same time on our website using the Electronic Change of Address tool (available under "Related Links" on this page).

With the exception noted above, all non-U.S. citizens who move within the United States and its territories must submit a Form AR-11 within 10 days after completing the change of address. You can do that here on our website with the Electronic Change of Address tool. If you choose to use this online tool, you can complete an electronic Form AR-11 and notify USCIS to update your address on most pending cases.

If you choose not to complete an electronic Form AR-11, you will be required to obtain a paper Form AR-11 and mail it to the address shown on the form. This will delay the process of notifying USCIS significantly. Not filing an electronic AR-11 and choosing to mail in a paper AR-11 will not update your address on any applications or petitions pending with USCIS.

Regardless of whether or not you are a U.S. citizen, if you choose not to use the electronic change of address notification, you will need to call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to request that the address on your pending application/petition be changed. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will also need to complete a paper Form AR-11.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and you have a case pending with USCIS, you will need to do both – call customer service and complete the paper AR-11. Completing an AR-11 does not update your address on any pending case. Also, notifying customer service does not meet the legal requirement of completing an AR-11.

If you mail a paper Form AR-11, we recommend using certified, registered or return receipt mail. This is not currently a requirement of USCIS, however it is advisable to send the AR-11 by a method that will give you documentation that you did mail the form to USCIS, in case there should ever be a question.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. If I understand this correctly I can either

Submit a paper AR-11 AND call the USCIS

OR

Submit a paper AR-11 AND submit the change electronically via the website.

Do I have this correct?

Thanks,

Dave

You just have to do it online and that changes your address on record and any pending cases.... if you send in a paper form AR-11 then you will also have to call the 0800 but it will take longer and no guarantee that your pending case will be updated....

FILE ON LINE......
