Questions regarding change of address for ROC filer

[J J Moose 3]

My husband and I lived with my parents during the first 6 months of our marriage, and we used my parent's address while we filed for permanent residency because we were still living there. Almost a year and a half ago, we moved into our own apartment, and I am 95% sure that I filed an AR-11 online within the 10 day time frame to tell USCIS that we moved.

Now it is time to file for ROC and USCIS mailed us a letter to remind us- however, they mailed it to my parents' address. This scares me a little. I am frantically going through my paperwork trying to find my copy of the AR-11, bur not having much luck so far.

My questions are:

1. Is there a way to verify that I filed the AR-11 somehow on the USCIS website?

2. If I can't find the paperwork and verify AR-11 was filed what should I do and what can I expect to happen as a consequence for not filing the paper on time?

Thank you for any insight you can offer.

Do not worry as we moved last August into our house and I filed the AR-11 and the I-865 for myslef as the USC sponsor. I have both confirmation letters (well the confirmation page on the website for the AR-11) and they still mailed it to the old address with a nice little note about having to file the AR-11. So I included both the AR-11 confirmation and the I-865 confirmation as part of our ROC package. Just fill out the forms with the correct current address and they will use that. I would make ceratin that you filed the I-865 for your husband as he is required to do so until the I-864 is no longer in effect.

Good luck,

Dave

Thanks for the info Dave!

I have since managed to find my confirmation on the AR-11, but I was not aware of the I-865 requirement. I will file that immediately. Doing some research on VJ I see that the I-865 is a common oversight and not often penalized, but I will send it in now to get all my ducks in a row.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
