AR-11

[jamiealderson 0]

Hello,

I recently had to change my address with USCIS. I am the USC, we sent out I-129F last month, myself and my Irish fiance live in Ireland. We had to change our address on file because for some reason they couldn't deliver mail to us here in Ireland. We never received our hardcopy NOA1. We changed our address with USCIS to my mom's address in California and she has begun to receive mail on my behalf and she got the hardcopy NOA1 finally, and all is fine and dandy.

My question is, in one of the letters my mom received from USCIS it is saying that in order to complete our change of address, we have to file an AR-11. I looked at the form and it's called and "Alien's Change of Address Card", so that makes me believe that I don't have to file that because I am a USC and not an alien. I would just go ahead and file one for my fiance but it asks questions like his current US address, and port of entry and stuff. All implying that the alien is already IN AMERICA. Well my fiance is not in the US, does he have to file that? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.

Have you reviewed this USCIS document?

Yes thank you, so from what I understand we don't need to file the AR-11 because my fiance isn't in the US.

My fiance (USC) will also change his address on March 14 since he'll be moving to his new house.

I hope USCIS will not send him AR-11. I've heard the same cases and they were requested to submit AR-11 which is for Alien only.

He'll do it via call maybe.

God bless!

Just my "naive" opinion... You need to follow the directions "exactly" to the word. It is not that difficult. You are an intelligent person. Always, if in doubt, contact the appropriate person/entity.
