Address

We might be moving soon and I am getting ready to mail in the I-751. I am thinking of putting my parents address for the mailing address. Has anyone else done this? Do you think they will pay attention and mail everything to my parents address if I put it as the mailing address?

Yes you can, and this may be a smart thing.

Also perhaps place a parent's name on the C/O line so if for some reason the PO has an issue the will deliver USCIS corespondence there anyway.

I agree with YuAndDan, that will be smart movies as their address is permanent.

With USCIS if you file a new case, they use that address as your current address. So do an AR-11 online, print out the confirmation page, file I-865 for USC spouse change of address. Include them with I-751 documents and mention these in your I-751 cover letter in the list alongwith other documents. I think like YuAndDan said putting C/O might work for you.

If you change your address after you file I-751 they will still send the documents to old address or some to old and some to new ones. Sounds strange but it's true. so address change alongwith with new application works best as long USCIS is concerned.

Good Luck.

Ok, I am not trying to pick on anyone, but I do not believe that you should file an AR-11 for a "mailing address", but only for a physical address. Someone can correct me if I am wrong and I won't get offended.

Addition to my previous answer. If you are moving changing address regarding of physical vs mailing address, then of course you have to notify by law to USCIS within 10 days after you move. Read this, please

Aliens Online change of address

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa

If you think that this is temporary move and you can still get mails on this address and you might move again soon, then there two options either fill out address change and put your parents address as new address or don't do address change at all.

According to USCIS website and link above:

"A willful failure to give written notice to the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the change is a misdemeanor crime. If convicted, the alien (or parent or legal guardian of an alien under age 14 who is required to give notice) can be fined up to $200 or imprisoned up to 30 days, or both. The alien may also be subject to removal from the United States. (INA § 266(B)). Compliance with the requirement to notify the USCIS of any address changes is also a condition of an alien’s stay in the United States. Failure to comply could also jeopardize the alien’s ability to obtain a future visa or other immigration benefit."

So the choice is yours, If think your parents wont move and will be at their address for a Year or so then use their address as your new address as you don't want to have mails from USCIS getting lost.

BTW based on my experience and reading posts here on VJ, USCIS will have the address you used when you filed I-485 and did AOS and might not your current address enough though you did change your address with them.

I forgot to do an address change since AOS, moved. I filed AR-11 online the day I sent them my I-751 and used my current address, they sent me NOA and biometric at the new address.

Another VJ did change of address online (after forgetting to change their address with USCIS), printed out the confirmation page, attached it with I-751 packet and include that as document in the document list of cover letter of I-751. She got NOA for address change and soon after couple of weeks NOA and biometric letters as well.

So the final choice is yours.

Hope it helps

Good Luck.

We filed our I-751 last month, same physical address address as always (no moves since starting the K-1 process back in 2006) but I have maintained a PO Box, in another city even, for 20 years. Could not use it for the K-1 or AOS, but listed the PO Box on our I-751 as our mailing address. Amazingly, USCIS sent our NOA1 to the PO Box.

So I think you would be fine to list your parents as a mailing address when you file your I-751, no need to also file the AR-11 until you physically move, which may be after filing I-751. I would agree, since it is the law, file the AR-11 when you physically move within 10 days.

Hi to all,

Just need clarrification. After I got my CR1 visa last month my hubby was moved to his father house, so we have no pending application now. Do we need to report our change address doing AR-11? Or we will wait till I come to US as greencard holder? Or we better file AR-11 online so they will send the welcome letter at our new address????

But we are confused now what to put in AR-11 cause hubby said the new address cannot receive mail cause there is no mailbox there, so he told me to use his old PO BOX address at his brothers address...So is it Ok to use the mailing address in AR-11? or we will need to put our new address where we moved??PLs give me clarrification
