Change of address?

[patrickhargs 0]

My wife got here back in April on the K-1 visa and now we are married and we are going through the AOS process. I keep reading that once you get here you are suppose to change your address on USCIS. It said that she was suppose to do it within 10 days of her arrival here (oops). I never heard that until now, and when I went on the USCIS website to change her address it does not allow us to enter her old address. Her old address is from the philippines, and her zip code is 4 digits. It says the zip code must be 5 digits. Can anyone tell us what we should do?

You only need to update USCIS when you change addresses within the US.

Exactly. She does not need to inform the USCIS that she moved from the Philippines to the US. They know that because she used her K-1 visa to do so. She will file for AOS using her new and current US address. If you move from your current address, then she is to update the USCIS within 10 days of moving. If you have already filed the I-864 and you move, the USC also needs to update their address as well.

Just to add to the above replies. You as the USC and any other sponsors listed on her I-864 from must also inform the USCIS of an address change within 30 days using the I-865 form until the I-864 is no longer enforceable. This is another item most people over look being a USC. This notifying the USCIS of address change only becomes relevant after the AOS is approved.
