Changing address ( move out of state) after receiving green card?

[foxtobee 1]

We are moving from AZ to OR. When we were filing we had to change our address info at the NVC ( as far as I do remember).

Now that I am a pemanent resident with still a conditional card, I probably have to do it again, but where?

At the local office in Phoenix, or do we have to do so in Portland?

The info the USCIS website gives is only for pending cases.

Please let us know. Thanks!!!

you need to fill oout and send in these two forms...

this one you can mail in or do online.... AR-11 Online Change of Adress

this one you have to mail in....

sponsor's notice of Change of Address - Form I-865

f 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.

So, what I get from this is that I have to file the AR-11 and my husband the sponsor form. My mother in law was my sponsor for AOS. I know she'll be moving too in a few months, do we also have to have her sent a sponsor's changed address form by then ??
