Hello everyone,

So we began our journey to remove conditions and I received my NOA. My husband and I bought a house and we're moving in this weekend. I know I'm required to notify USCIS of a change of address which I've done in the past. On the website it says that we can do this change of address online

Have any pending OR recently approved applications or petitions (except for VAWA, T or U visa); you need to complete two steps

AND

  • Step 2: Change your address on any pending or recently approved applications or petitions (online OR by phone at 1-800-375-5283)

Use our convenient Online Change of Address system to complete steps 1 and 2 at the same time. Once you complete Form AR-11 online - the system will also provide you the opportunity to change your address on any pending or recently approved applications. If you use our Online Change of Address to complete Form AR-11, you do NOT need to file a paper Form AR-11.

I know that I can complete steps 1 and 2 in the same form so I only have to fill it out once (please correct me if I'm wrong), but does my husband the US citizen have to fill this out too since he sponsored me during AOS? We don't have our receipt number yet since I haven't received the biometrics appointment. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Hello! I did a change of address online after I submitted my ROC, Since you already received your NOA then I would use the receipt # on the NOA (it should be on there). I only did it for myself (the GC-holder), your husband doesn't need to submit an update (I asked this question myself too when I did the change). Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the AR-11 is for non-citizens only. Once you complete Step 1, the website will ask if you have pending petitions and you can select yes or no and then it will request for your receipt # etc. (if I remember correctly).

Just an FYI, if you normally use a non-Internet Explorer browser I would suggest switching to Internet Explorer for the online form, otherwise you are fine. The form doesn't work with non-Internet Explorer browsers - I tried it with Chrome and it didn't work.

Also, I have read people have speculated that changing the address after submitting the i-751 can trigger an RFE. I did receive one so be prepared to get one - unless you can already submit evidence you are living in the new residence as an amendment (I read somewhere you can do that?) before getting an RFE.

Also another FYI after getting the RFE, my receipt # changed. So when I used the online notification system I had to use the RFE receipt # and it does show that I requested for an address change.

Hope this helps!

ROC Journey:

4/24/13 - Submitted I-751 application

4/26/13 - I-751 officially filed

6/11/13 - Biometrics done

8/14/13 - Rec'd RFE

9/21/13 - Submitted RFE response

9/23/13 - RFE response rec'd at VSC

(about 2 months later)

11/21/13 - Service request via Tier 1 submitted

12/11/13 - Response to service request rec'd - vague info about processing times

12/12/13 - Service request via Tier 2 submitted

12/10/13 - APPROVED!!! (letter rec'd 12/14/13)

12/16/13 - 2nd Service request response rec'd

12/17/13 - Card production email/text rec'd (online case updated)!

12/24/13 - Notification rec'd via email regarding card mailed on 12/23/13 (online case updated as well)

12/26/13 - 10-yr card rec'd!

One thing I have learned on this journey:

There is no such thing as an "overkill" evidence package. Submit anything and everything you can. Who knows what will prevent you from getting an RFE.

USC spouse must provide address change in I-865 but only if he/she filed I-864.

Thank you, actually the AR-11 has the option to choose whether your are a citizen or a resident so I was confused. When we moved the first time we sent a notification that we both moved and I believe it was required so I'm thinking it's required now as well. I sent my mortgage papers and put in the cover letter that we are moving when our closing date comes so I made them aware of the move. I hope this doesn't cause an RFE.

Each move must be followed up within 30 days with a AR-11 and I-865. Yes, let's hope for the best.
