Temporary move to another place

Recommended Posts

My husband and I temporarily moved to a different address (up to 6 months). We should definitely be back to our apartment in 6 months. We submitted a temporary change of address through USPS, so all our mail is forwarded to our new address.

Do you think we should file change of address forms with USCIS? We're going through removing conditions right now.

We changed the address when we were going AOS but immigration officer who were interviewed us didn't know about it. Thus USCIS is not that prompt in changing the addresses.

My husbands thinks that it would just confuse them and since all our mail is forwarded - we won't miss any important mail.

Any opinions?

Just want to update my post so that someone in similar situation would have an answer.

USPS is not forwarding the USCIS mail since there is a stamp "Return Srvc Requested" on each USCIS letter, which means that this letter couldn't be forwarded.

Someone says that only Premium Forwarding forwards all government mail, but it costs 15 dollars per week (therefore 60 dollars a month! :wacko: ) and everyone knows how slow the USCIS can be with one's application.

Therefore I filed the change of address form and you can specify that the change of address is temporary on the AR-11. However I'm still not sure if I would need to file this form again when I move back.

I don't know but the USPS in TN forwarded my USCIS mail to me to Ohio when we moved.

I heard that sometimes post office can forget about not forwarding government mail. However our post office is not forwarding the government mail as it is supposed to do: we didn't get a DMV letter which came 5-7 days after USPS officially informed us about forwarding. Our sublets mailed us that letter.
