US Immigration from South Africa

Hi there,

We're applying for my husband's green card in South Africa - he's in the final stage of getting his last civil document approved and (hopefully) moving on to consular interviews in the coming months.

We've used my parent's address as our permanent US address as we're both in South Africa, and they've just recently moved. Our address in South Africa hasn't changed. I'm trying to understand who I must notify about this US address change, how to do it and when is the best time.

• Do we notify the NVC of the US address change using the public enquiry form? Or is that just meant for changes to our local (overseas) address?
• Does he need to submit the AR-11 form? It asks for his present and past physical address (both of which are in South Africa and haven't changed) and the mailing address (which is our US address that has changed). It seems like this is meant for applicants or immigrants residing in the US?
• Do I need to submit the I-865 form? (Difficult to do since it needs to be submitted by mail and I'm still overseas).

Thanks for any insight you may have!

I am a green card holder. Only been in the United States with my wife for 8 months now. When can I apply for citizenship?

Well, Hello Everyone.

I'm currently applying to adjust my wife's status. Im not sure how we got this far without the long form birth certificate but now it is needed. How do we obtain this from inside the states? We have no idea what to do.

I've been seeing a lot of questions about Active Review when it comes to IR1/CR1 visas.

We might be able to see if there is a pattern to Active Review based on USCIS center or if it's all random.
