Trying to get my address changed AR-11

[Skyman 289]

Anyone else run into difficulties with this.  It seems to be a fairly fast process compared with anything else with USCIS, but the accuracy is lacking.  

 

We had I-130 and I-485 filed.

In early April we sent in an I-765 app and had to use the old address because we were still there.  

The end of April we moved and I did the I-865 for me and a AR-ll for my wife.  

The AR-11 (wife's) seemed to work although the city name was wrong but close enough the mail would find us. 

The I-865 receipt said it worked but the online account profile addresses hadn't changed.

So I put in an AR-11 for myself and that worked after a few days but when I did the AR-11 I checked Mailing and physical address the same so when I was notified the address had updated I found the mailing address was still the old one.  I put in another and forced in the correct mailing address so I hope that fixes that.

Then we got the I-765 receipt and apparently because it was filed with the old address, that overwrote the address back to the old one on my wife's profile so I'm putting in the AR-11 again.  

 

It would be so much easier if I could just go in and edit the addresses in the profile but that would be too easy.

When you go thru AR-11 online, it asks you if you have pending application/petition and will allow you to reflect the changes in those pending cases. Did u do so?

Yes, I'm not sure if you can go on without it.

I865 is for the i864.

The best way to update the address online is to change it individually for each receipt. Or else for some reason not all of them get updated.

So 4 receipts, 4 AR-11.

I had a similar issue when I tried to update it all at once.

Also as a precautionary measure, change the address with USPS. They will forward your mail for free for 6 months

Only 3 for me because I didn't file an I-131.

But I ran into another problem.  I checked the box for "Mailing address is the same as the physical address so they only updated the physical address so I did another and put in the same address for both.

I remember checking that box too and it didn't cause any issue.

Well sorry for the hassle

USCIS systems really suck and still we are held accountable if something goes wrong. 

I hope you get all your mail at your new address going forward
