Hey all,

 

We have already received approval on our visa and my fiancée has booked a flight. In the mean time, I (the US citizen petitionary) am about to move to a new address. 

 

I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on how exactly to notify USCIS of this. There's mentions of doing it online through the USCIS portal, but (as shown below) USCIS says don't.

I've seen AR-11 mentioned, and I-865 mentioned, but still not sure exactly which or what I'm meant to do.

 

Also, once my fiancée moves over, does she also need to fill any of these out?

Welcome to the forum!

 

When moving (within the U.S. after arrival), the LPR needs to file the AR-11 (can be done online), and the US citizen sponsor needs to file the I-865.  However, because your fiancée isn't yet here, she can (and should be sure to) report the change at Port of Entry to the CBP agent.  She can ask if this will preclude the need for her to file an AR-11, which I suspect it will.

 

Congratulations on the visa and the new residence.  Be sure to report back.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Good to do but not really criticall at this stage.  Use the new address when filing to adjust status after marriage.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

Thanks and thanks for the response!

 

So, would you recommend that I file the I-865 so that when my fiancée arrives, her report of a change of address at her Port of Entry matches what the government would have on file? I very much appreciate the assistance! I just want to make sure we are doing everything correctly!
