Hi there! I know it is always prudent to file fairly early in the window for I-751, but what if you'll move soon? My window will open around mid March, but my husband and I will have to move in the middle/end of April to somewhere much closer to where he works.

I really don't know which way is better: a) file early around mid March as soon as my window opens and then notify USCIS change of address after we move (we might not receive important notices though..) or b) wait till we move and file in late April or early May, it is still within the 90-day window after all..

I guess I just need some advice.. because this is driving me crazy..  :(

Thanks!!

As long as you file within the 90 days window, you should be good.

 

In my opinion, it is better if you file after you move so you don't have to deal with the hassles of address change as sometimes the office does not receive the request. With that being said, many have successfully been able to change their addresses.

VeraBradley, thank you so much! I think you're right, dealing with the hassles of address change is the last thing I want!
