Change of address in USCIS account

I just paid the $220 immigration fee online -- and they "strongly recommend" I change my address in the USCIS portal to ensure that I receive my green card. (They do have the correct address that I gave them at the time of interview...)

 

I'm confused, though -- the USCIS account is under my husband's name as he is my petitioner... (which I can't seem to change) and it's asking for my A# and case #.

 

But it's under HIS name. So it looks like HE'S the immigrant? 

 

Am I doing this wrong?

If you did not change your intended US address from the intended address in your DS-260 form at the time of your interview, then there is no need for you to file an address change with USCIS.

 

If you ever actually change addresses in the future, then you (the immigrant) will need to file AR-11 address change by mail, or create your own USCIS account (not using your petitioner's account) to change address online.

AR-11 doesn't require an account by the way.

Thank you - this is reassuring. They do have my US address and verified this in my interview, so I won't worry about it at this point! Appreciate your response.
