Moving to Another State while "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview"

[harry_lee 0]

Hello!

 

I will be moving from state A to state B (driving) on the 23rd of December. I plan to arrive at the new apartment in state B on the 1st of January 2022. Currently, my case status for the family based AOS is "Case is Ready to be scheduled for an Interview". I would like to submit a request for change of address during early December, so that I increase the chance not having an interview scheduled at state A and also increase the chance of getting the interview scheduled earlier once I move to state B. Would this be illegal? Would this cause concerns during the AOS interview?

 

My current lease ends on the 24th of December and the new lease starts in state B starting 1st of Jan 2022. Thus, I already have some gap where I do not technically live in any state (I will be travelling across state sleeping at hotels etc. during this time).

 

In summary, I would like to ask if it's okay for me to submit a change of address slightly earlier before I arrive at the new address.

 

Thanks for your help!

File a change of address online, AR-11, and also call USCIS, and speak to a real person, to make sure they have your new address.  So often a move to a new address causes issues so try to be proactive.  Good luck!

Make sure the AOS sponsor (your USC spouse) files hard copy I-865 change of address as well.

I believe that you may file a change of address up to 30 days before the move and no later than 10 days. It's somewhere on the USCIS site.
