Hi All,

 

My wife and I recently bought a property but before we move there's some work that needs to be done - so it will be around a month or so before we move over there permanently.

 

Now I know we need to notify USCIS of a "change of address" within 10 days. Is there any specific information as what they consider "change of address"?

 

We already received mail over at the new property (mostly just spam, but also home-insurance docs and utilities) but currently we still reside (and have our bank accounts etc.) at our original address.

 

Do we need to let USCIS know now or only once we physically relocate?

 

Thank you in advance.

It means physical occupation of your new residence.  USCIS needs to keep track of the immigrant's location.

 

Congratulations on buying your property!

I'd go with physically relocate. Update it once you move to the new place.
