Change of Address after approval?

[ana751 1]

I have received the approval letter and the email confirmation. I have not received my green card yet. Can I put in a change of address so that the GC can come to another address without causing red flags to go up? or should I just wait? A lawyers once told me that after approval of the I751 you are no longer a conditional resident. You become a resident without conditions which means that they can't take the green card after the fact. I just want to make sure. Maybe someone has had a similar situation.

I'd wait to change the address after you get the GC.

There is no issue with changing one's address - people move, that's a fact of life.

You should, and in fact are required to, submit an AR-11 within 10 days of moving.

Hi ana751,

I would agree with milimelo, if possible please wait till you get your GC. Based on my observation of folks with such issues and my own experience with USCIS. They normally don't update a completed or pending case and only do when you file a new case with them and also do address change algonwith it. Although USCIS does require to file AR-11 and I-865 10 days after you move, but their only change/update it, what i have said above.

So it's up to you. I also read a post here on VJ, that a lady did try to update her address and USCIS did it after multiple service request.

Hope it helps.

I would really like to change my address. I know my soon to be exwife is going to play games when the card come in.

Not exactly sure, but I think you can put a HOLD request for your mail up at the post office. People do that when they go on vacation. Thereafter you go to "your" post office every day or every other day until you get the card and pick it up in person . . .

Change the address and also do the USPS move thing.
