Has anyone moved before AOS biometrics/ interview

[rhymeswithcandi 0]

I've received a NOA Re my AOS notifying me that I will be receiving a biometrics appointment notice. That was about a month ago and I've received nothing since.

I've got AP already and did biometrics for EAD (which I received). When I called the mis-Information line they told me I would be contacted shortly for an interview appointment.

So, I'm lead to believe that any day now I should be expecting an interview and biometrics appointment here in VA.

The thing that worries me is that we're moving to CA in just 8 weeks.

Is that move going to delay/ mess-up where I'm at in the application process? Will my application be transferred to another office and cause problems for me?

Just wondering if anyone has moved to another state at this stage in the process and can shed some light.

Thank you!

My husband and I are in Fairfax, VA too, nice to see another person from our area.

We decided to stay in our current rented place from start to finish until my husband receives his green card, because a very good friend of ours moved while she was awaiting her interview notice. She ended up having to leave the country because they did not receive mail communication from USCIS. Now, this was before the online tracking system, BUT as many people here have discovered, that tracking system is definitely not reliable. So she ended up moving back to Australia and her husband dropped everything and moved with her since they were told it would be a long time IF she could even apply again. So her husband tried to apply for Australia's version of permanent residency, but he was denied and made to leave the country. They were apart for a while and felt at the end of their ropes, and I suggested that before they consider anything drastic, they should check out Direct Consular Filing. It turns out that no one had ever EVER even mentioned to them that DCF was an avenue they could pursue in their particular situation. Turns out my friend was approved with no problem and was back in the US with her husband within 3 weeks of filing in Australia.

I'm sure my friends were very lucky and there are probably other facets of the situation that I don't know about, but I guess the point I was trying to make is that it could be potentially disastrous to move in the middle of filing for permanent residency. I'm sure many people have had no problems, but from VA to CA is literally across the country; and this seems to be an important time, as in you're not just waiting months for an interview, but you're on the verge of having the biometrics appointment.

Unfortunately, I don't have any information on who you can call to get more info, and the only thing that comes to mind is to maybe make an Infopass appointment at the Prosperity center in Fairfax (which is the DC office basically). From what I've read here, Infopass appointments seem to be more helpful than calling the mis-information line.

Best of luck!

when you went for the biometrics was it just for EAD or EAD and AOS ?,

( you can find out on the letter you had for the biometrics it should say code 3 wich is for AOS , EAD and AP ,on my letter it was written AOS EAD biometrics )

did they take your 10 fingerprint or just a few , if they took the 10 you probly already had the biometrics for AOS and EAD and dont need another apointment ,

but if they only took a few fingerprint then it probly was for EAD ,

I would make any infopass to clear things up if AOS was included on your biometric appointment

( take a look at the NOA biometric letter they send you when you went for the appointment , if the AOS is included ) if it was then all your waiting for now is the interview letter ( if interview is required ) if you move before you get this letter you will have to let them know of change of adress by filling A 11, but someone with more knowlage on moving while AOS pending might be able to help you more , good luck

Yes, and it is problematic.

This can happen: READ: http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?...c=22057&hl= (They moved from CA to NY and informed USCIS even info passed with the CA office, a few months later the CA office started removal proceedings due to their failure to report to an AOS interview in the CA office)

That was helpful Lona, thanks.

It actually says "Code 2" and they only took one print of my index finger so it looks like it was just for my EAD and I'll probably have to do it again.

I'm just praying that I get something within the next 8 weeks but I'll make an Infopass appointment to try and get things sorted anyway. I've changed addresses once before (although within the same state). I did it over the phone and also filed AR-11 and it worked out well. I'm sure moving to another state will be a lot trickier though.

I'd just stay put until this is finished but my husband has to go back to CA to go to school so I'm kinda stuck.

Wow that is the most unlucky scenario ever! It looks like their address change and interview notice completely crossed in the mail. Maybe if I make the address change a little early and have someone collect our mail here (which we can do) we can avoid this...
