Living at address other than green card address?

[splatterpaint 0]

We move around a lot.  Between places, we stay with some of my relatives.  I've used that address as my address for years, since my military days.  Now we're using it as my wife's green card address as well.  Even when we're leasing an apartment for a year elsewhere.  The address is only about a 30 minute drive from where we stay currently.  Is this an issue?  Do I need to apply for a new GC every time we change our address (once a year), instead of using my home of record?

The card doesn't have an address on it.

You can inform USCIS of the address change using the online address change form.

Good point about the card.  What my concern is, is using the my Home of Record as the address all the time. It's what I've done for years, since I've moved very frequently since I left home.  And it's convenient since my wife and I will move around the US as well, before her citizenship.

My understanding based on the information on USCIS website is that address changes for the Permanent Resident needs to be reported. This can be done by filing form AR-11 or using the online change of address form.

 

Also, if a U.S. Citizen changes address, they have to report their address changes in two cases: if they have pending application or petition with USCIS, or if they previously submitted a Form I-864 on behalf of someone who has become a permanent resident.
