Pete & Shan
Hi all,

Peter and I were very active here about two years ago when we went through the Visa process and found this site so helpful.

We are in the process on removing conditions, and have the form filled out, all the evidence we need.

We have just this past week moved into a house we bought together, so that is part of our proof of marriage.

We filled the form out with our new address and as instructed, have our old address listed on a separate sheet of paper.

Do we need to fill out any other forms letting them know our address has changed, or is this ok?

Thank You!

You need to fill out form AR-11 - Change of Address as well as form I-865 - Sponsor's Notice of Change of Address, both available on the USCIS website, under "Immigration Forms".

Got it - Thank You!

I am also in a similar situation, but a little different.
Since I became conditional resident almost 2 yrs ago, we have moved 3 times in 2 different States, due to job necessity and financial reason.

In all the diffent addresses, I filled the change of address form AR 11, (though not within the 10day period as written.) but my partner did not file any form, we are both working > 40hours/week so no one sponsors the other.

Given the above situation --> filling more than the 10 days allowed for AR 11
--> my partner never filled I 865
will that be a problem for our application?

we changed address for job necessity and financial reasons, will that explanation be enough for the USCIS?


Another questions I have.
what is the meaning of --> 40 quarters of work;

Thank you very much

i would file the sponsors notice... yes, you are both working but your partner is still technically your sponsor...

also they don't really care why you moved, people move all the time... they just want to know where you moved to....

why then on the I 751 the ask:
Have you resided at any other address since you became a permanent resident? (If yes, attach a list of all
addresses and dates.)

If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, provide a detailed explanation on a separate sheet(s) of paper and refer to "What Initial Evidence Is Required?" to determine


do we need to give any explanation as to why the change of address?

that is only for the questions that would require a detailed explanation.... like it says you do need to provide a list of all the previous addresses.... I did that and I didn't include an explanation....

You only need to include the prior addresses, no explanation necessary. We also moved three times during the 2 year conditional residence period. I filed AR-11, but husband did not know that he needs to file I-865. We did not have any problem in I-751 processing. While I am not saying every body should ignore the requirements of filing I-865, but just want to give you an example that we worried a lot about this too, but we survived.
Good luck!
