Change of Address for Applicant and Petitioner, but no reply? [merged threads]

[IRFUN 59]

We just received my wife's passport with the temporary visa stamp (sticker) and paid for the $220 USCIS Immigrant Fee. 

Which address will the physical green card be mailed to? 

 

Is it the address we entered in Form I-130 #12.a. or the Permanent Address listed in our DS-260?

I got this message after paying for the USCIS Immigrant Fee. 

"Confirm Your U.S. Mailing Address To Receive Your Green Card

Now that you have paid your USCIS Immigrant Fee, USCIS will prepare to mail your Green Card to the U.S. mailing address you gave the Department of State (DOS) at your visa interview. To ensure that we send your Green Card to your correct address, create a USCIS Online Account to verify or update your U.S. mailing address."

I'm guessing that would mean the DS-260 address, but I'm not sure. 

Also I don't see anywhere in my USCIS account where I can verify a mailing address.

When you come thru the POE, one of the questions the officer will ask is " Have you paid your Green card fee" if you have he will ask to verify the address on file. If they don't ask, make sure you bring it up at POE, that is your only chance to check the address the card will be mailed to if you already paid the fee online. After you enter it will be a real time trying to figure things out. Just make sure you verify at POE.

Thank you! Will verify at POE.

The mailing address listed in the DS-260.  As mentioned above, you may confirm or change the address by notifying the CBP officer at POE.  The officer might not ask about the address, so volunteer the info.

Great! Thank you. Would you happen to know if that's where the Social Security card is mailed to as well?

Hey everyone, my wife received her temporary green card in her passport and will be coming to the U.S. in a few months on an IR1. I've already moved to the U.S. but to a location different than the one listed in the I-130 and DS-260.

I've already submitted an online change of address request to USCIS on behalf of my wife and myself and have received emails confirming receipt of request. 

On the email, it states that we should expect a reply by a certain date, but it's already past that date. 
 

1. Where should we expect a reply? Via mail or email? 
2. Is there anywhere I can check to see the status of the address change?
3. How can I make sure that my wife won't encounter any issues from the immigration officer when she arrives? 

 

Thank you!

1. Email

 

2. Not that I am aware of

 

3. She should provide to

* the airline your current physical address and

* CBP at the port of entry your current physical and mailing addresses.

 

After she arrives, you should file I-865 to change your two addresses from the addresses listed on I-864

To update everyone, my wife is now in the U.S. 🙌 but the immigration officer did not have the current address as changed in the AR-11 and as confirmed in a message from USCIS. I don't know where the disconnect is, but providing the updated address to the immigration officer will suffice. Looking forward to getting her green card and ss card in the mail now!
