Change of Address

[Kitty_Cat 0]

So..after we sent in the AR-11 to USCIS and the local office, the I-845 to the USCIS. How do we know if they get it, do we get some sort of notice from them when they get the mails? Do they tell us that they have updated our information? We've been waiting for our interview letter, and now we're moving, don't want to miss that important letter

Hi,

I'm going to send these forms too. But I'd like to know if I have to send both forms to the local office but ONLY the AR11 to USCIS (that is... where? CA or Chicago?) ?? I'm always confused with these addresses (too many!)

And also, what did you put in at the Last Name column? Did you put in your hubby's last name?

Thanks!

You are required to file AR-11, and your Sponsor is required to file I-865. Relevant laws are cited in the links below.

To successfully change your mailing address, from the Dept of Overkill:

-file AR-11 as required by law. This does not change your *mailing* address, but it informs USCIS where you might have been, at one time. Just do it, it's the

law http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/address.htm

How Do I Report a Change of Address to the USCIS?

AR-11 does not generally generate a NOA receipt. Send by trackable mail.

-Copy of AR-11 to any LOCAL or district office where you might have a file. Include a letter saying: change my mailing address

-copy of AR-11 to any Service Center where you might have a file. Include a letter saying: change my mailing address

-Phone call to 1-800 MisInformation line with the request: please change my mailing address

-file I-865 for USC Sponsor as required by law. You *may* get a NOA for this one and it *might* change the Sponsor's mailing address. Or not.

-file Change of Address and Mail Forwarding with the USPS. Your USCIS mail *might* get forwarded to your new addy. Or returned to USCIS, you never know. Unfortunate side effect: the PO sells your new address to bulk mailers and you are now back on every junk mailing list under the sun.

Do-it-yourself: Stop junk mail, email and phone calls

30 days later

-Follow up phone call to 1-800 to see if address change is captured.

-Cross fingers and keep an eye on processing times and when you expect to be contacted. Don't let it go for ages and then say 'dude, where's my case?'.©

Hi,

In the form AR-11, how did you specify your status in the US? AOS or what? Also, at the end of the form, they asked you when your stay in the US expires, what did you write?

Thanks again.

I put AOS on mine, and left that expiring date blank because we're not here temporarily

just put "K1 - adjusment pending" for status, and for expiration I put "indefinite - adjustment pending"

Did you put 'change of mailing address' on your letter, or just a simple 'change of address' ?

I assumed they should know when we mail them the change of address notice, it means our mailing address changes to that new address also? Cuz I put 'change of address' instead of 'change of mailing address'

Send AR-11 to the address listed on the AR-11 form. Also send a copy to the service center/local office where you filed your application. I put my husband's name as my last name because that's what I did on my AOS application
