Moving to another state before NOA2 arrives

[TidusSquall 2]

Hello everyone:

I apologize if this has been asked before, I did use the search function and only found an old post that didn't have a solution.

I am the petitioner and our NOA1 arrived with a Feb 21 2014 date. It was sent to the Texas Service Center. I am in Puerto Rico and my fiancee is in Canada. Our original plan was to live in Puerto Rico for a while, and we still haven't received our NOA2.

However, I accepted a job offer, and I will be moving to Portland, Oregon in a month, August 10th. I am excited and happy, but also worried that this will delay our process even more. Will I have to submit a new application? When should I call to give the heads up that I moved? Will this affect our process at all?

As always thanks for your help, comments and suggestions.

Anyway to have someone look out for the mail at the old address after you move? If not, try to call the USCIS and get a Tier Two Human and update your address as soon as you move. Complete a forwarding order with the USPS so the letter is returned to the USCIS as the USPS will not forward anything from the USCIS. Once it is received back at the USCIS, they should send you a text or e-mail notification that it was returned--I am assuming that you completed the electronic notification form when you submitted the petition (the G-1145 FORM). You need to get a copy of this for later processing, so it is important to get a copy.

Good luck,

Dave

Thanks for the reply, my mailing address is my parent's home, so there will always be there to receive some mail. Should I just not do anything until TSC sends our NOA2 (whenever that may be D:)? Every step just makes me uncertain, lol.

Is there a temporary mail forwarding service available there? (similar to what US postal has to offer https://www.usps.com/manage/forward-mail.htm)
