New job during AOS

[sorchaine 10]

When my husband and I initially filed his AOS I was unemployed, so on the I-864 I filled it out with no income coming in and attached a letter explaining why I had no employment or tax returns. I also included a co-sponsor (the same one I used for the K1). Just this week his AOS was transferred to CSC so we're still in the process and currently do not know if we will have an interview or not. Just waiting to hear from them.

I started a new job about 2 weeks ago. I'll be making just around the amount required for the affidavit of support (so I'll probably want to still keep the co-sponsor on there just in case), but wasn't sure if there was anything I needed to do to inform the USCIS that I now have full-time employment. I'm assuming that I would need to bring documentation with me if there was an interview as well as an updated I-864, but I just don't know if I'm supposed to submit anything to them now regarding the new job.

*edit*

One more thing I forgot to add. We will be moving in about 2-4 weeks to a new place. Right now we are living with my parents, but will have our own place soon. I understand that we need to send in the change of address form for my husband and do the change of address stuff online, but do they require a real mailbox (like the kind on the street)? Or would they accept a post office box? The place we will be renting doesn't have the most reliable of neighbors so we were warned that it would be best if we got a post office box to receive our mail so none of it goes missing or gets stolen by other tenants. If it would be safer for us to have a post office box in order to make sure that no one takes the letters and cards from the one at our new place, then I'll go get a new post office box instead. I just wasn't sure if they accept post office boxes for delivering letters, the EAD, or green card.

Hi! you know what? we are practically in the same boat! when we filed the AOS, my husband (petitioner) was unemployed. He was just getting unemployment pay. He only started working Feb 28. I am also confused whether I should send in additional documents now like the letter of employment from his work and paystub? or should I just wait for the interview and then show those there or another situation might be that they will send us RFE? I did not submit a co-sponsor. and I really dont have to now coz he makes more than what is needed.

another concern for me too is our mail. I'm also worried about us not getting the mail coz I've been seeing stuff in our mailbox that's not for us. I'm afraid that it may happen to us too. It's so hard to keep waiting for the mailman everyday. Is it alright to change the mailing address to a PO box in the middle of this process?

Anybody who can help Sorchaine and I???

thanks! good luck to both of us sorchaine!

Don't bother telling them until or unless you get an interview. He is still your sponsor so it doesn't really change much except MAYBE you could remove the joint sponsor... but no biggie anyway.

PO Box is fine. In some cases preferable (like yours). In fact in my case my mail MUST be addressed to PO Box unless it's delivered via FedEx or UPS. I have no street mail box so it would get returned to sender if I put a street address.
