Hello dear VJ members, 

 

I will make a brief introduction to my current situation and then will have two questions that I'm really hoping to get some answers to.

 

My current status is LRP I received my Green Card recently and have Ir1 VISA.  We had to get a co-sponsor (my sister in-law) because my husband didn't meet all the financial requirements. I've been living in the Us for more then three months now.  Me and my husband recently moved from his parent's house to our own apartment. He is the only one who's working at the moment. 

 

1. My husband is thinking about applying for food stamps, that will help us big time with groceries. He is USC. My question is - Can he apply for food stamps if we are in the same household and I know as an LRP, I'm not eligible for SNAP. He will most likely have to put me in the papers as a household member. would that be okay? Last thing we want is to have problems with my sister in law. We don't want her in any way to have to pay anything back to the government or anything like that.

2. As I've already mentioned, We moved out about three weeks ago from my in laws house, should I go ahead and change an address on USCIS. Our lease will end in about a year and it is not by any means our permanent residency place, we still can receive emails to my in laws address. Question - Should I still go ahead and change my address?

I don’t know about the food stamps question, but a year IS considered a permanent adddess. You are required to notify uscis of change of address within 10 days of moving, so suggest you do that now. It’s not about where you get mail, it’s about where you live.
