Quick question for you guys. I applied to TSC for a removal of conditions in late June and got fingerprinted in early July. But earlier this month, I had to relocate out of GA to OH state for educational purposes. However, my wife will remain in GA until at least Feb 08 after she completes a sensitive project that she is currently handling for her company or finds another job here in OH. Herein lie my dilemma:

Should I notify the USCIS of a change of address or not? I'm hesitant to notify them while my wife is still in GA due to the following concerns:

1.) I don't want the USCIS to think that we are living apart because our marriage is troubled (it's not)

2.) I'm afraid my file will be transfered from Texas to Nevada where my app will be thrown to the back of the processing line and I have to start over.

3.) Besides, due to USCIS inefficiency they may lose my file during the transfer and screw me up altogether.

4.) Case processing in Texas is quite slow but it seems to be even slower in Nevada

So, I don't know if I should change my address now or to wait until later after I have received my green card. It will also be appreciated if anyone who experienced relocation in the middle of a pending petition will share their experience. Thanks.

This is a matter that falls into a grey area. And is for you to determine. Law requires an alien to inform USCIS of a move after 10 days. The question then remains, is this a move?
