Moving in state (to a different county) while N400 is pending

[foreverluv 1]

Hi everyone, so i'm in the middle of filing for N400. I just received my NOA couple days ago. At the same time of filling my N400, we have a mortgage loan going on and we finally got approved for it just recently too. With that said, we are in the closing stage for our mortgage loan and we probably will move to our new house soon. The new house is only 15 minutes from my old house and according to what i checked, the new zip code will still be served under same field office as the old one.

 

My concern is that after we move, should i file the change of address immediately or should I ask the post office to forward any mail from our old address to the new address ( or i might stop by old place to get mail ). I’ve searched all over the internet about this topic but can only find info for people moving out of state or concerns that aren’t relevant to mine. Does anyone have any experience with a local change of address while N-400 application is pending?

 

Thank you for your input.

you are required to file a change of address within 10 days. You can ask the post office to forward your mail, but they don't necessarily forward mail from USCIS. 

I moved right after filing 130/485, within state, same field office. I filed a change of address online, and got my EAD card about 14 days after moving, at the new address. You can always call them a few days after filing your change of address to verify it went through.

 

Good luck!
