I am utterly confused now.

As explained by the alert at the top of this page, an address change can be done in multiple ways....case closed.

CoA - Change of Address (uscis.gov)

USCIS clearly prefers the change of address to be submitted in myUSCIS:

“We strongly encourage you to submit your change of address to USCIS through a USCIS online account. ”

https://www.uscis.gov/addresschange
 

I did this in December through my USCIS account and haven’t thought about it since.

I saw that too. I think I understand the issue of multiple ways to do this and any one of it satisfies the AR-11 requirement. What is annoying is that, on COA website that you poster the above screenshot from, I think they refer to the myUSCIS way of updating address as "E-COA" but nowhere inside myUSCIS is the term "E-COA" ever used. Is the myUSCIS way considered the E-COA?

Folks, this is where I am at. Hope someone can help.
 

STEP 1 - I filed adress change using myUSCIS (didnt take screenshot of what I entered so that made me nervous).

STEP 2 - Filed AR-11 using egov CoA link (https://egov.uscis.gov/coa/displayCOAForm.do) which gives me a printout of filled AR-11 based on my online AR-11 form and a confirmation email. So I can be sure that I entered correct addresses.

STEP 3 - Since I am not sure if CoA link is still considered valid by USCIS (it's no longer mentioned on AR-11 webpage - https://www.uscis.gov/ar-11). I am thinking of filing my present address once more by myUSCIS and take screenshots this time. Can there be any harm in filing another address change via myUSCIS? I mean the information (my current address) will be the same.
Just want to cover all my bases and be a 100% sure of what I entered.

You've changed your address 2 times.  I think you have done all you need to do.  Good luck.

Will keep this short. Physical address changed, mailing address didn't.

 

1. i-865 asks for new physical address - great, provided

2. asks for effective date of change of address (for new physical address) - great, provided

3. asks if new mailing address same as new physical address - selected no (technically there is no "new" mailing address but I think no applies anyway)

4. asks for new mailing address and it's "effective date of change of address" - now, the mailing address didn't change, it's same as the old one. So, I am guessing instead of leaving it blank providing the same "effective date of change of address" for mailing address as the change date for new physical address would make most sense?

 

Basically, when comparing to old i-865, it would be saying mailing address changed from SAME_MAIL_ADDR to SAME_MAIL_ADDR on XX/YY/2024. So, shouldn't really matter?

 

Thanks!

@TBoneTX The new post is not the Ar-11 question but i-865 question. If you still want to keep it merged, that's ok.

2) For i-865 to be filed by mail by sponsor (if also changing address with LPR).

From the opening post.  Please avoid questioning Moderation decisions in open forum.

What you outlined seems fine.
