    Oh, duhhh Can't believe I didn't think to do that 🙄 And yes, the full address is on the notice... Oh well.
     
    Pretty sure it's the same thing so no, just 1 email.

    You can download the NOA1 from your online account and check your address. I think as long as your address is correct on what you filed, it should be okay. Other sites say it could be a system glitch.

    Thank you for the peace of mind! To make matters worse, I left my NOA1 behind in CA but won't be back home until mid-Fall 😅 But I imagine the unit number is there since it did make it to me.

    I was curious about that too. I don't know why the online profile doesn't show my unit number but, my NOA1 shows my unit number.

    I had the same problem. I quickly did the change of address form and it was amended within 24 hours.
    My USCIS profile now shows my apartment number.
     
    With the amount of revenue generated by USCIS, you would expect a functional website devoid of glitches and missing downloaded documents,

    No, I received everything within a week (email the next day & physical notice about 1 week later).

    It’s simply not a comparable situation to have online courses when you are about to live anywhere in the country, including the same city as the brick and mortar college if you wish, than being forced back home to a complete different country.
     
    Others have already pointed out time zone issues as well as a possible lack of technology infrastructure in some countries that could make online learning difficult or near impossible.
     
    My friend recently learned she is going to be doing her final Masters year online. Almost immediately she got emails from professors letting their classes know they will be available for face to face meetings for students who may need to check in from time to time. She’s already been invited to some outside study groups with fellow local students. Local organizations and businesses that are popular internship spots are already stepping up to offer hybrid options regardless of the all-online class model. All of these are things an international student who was sent home wouldn’t be able to participate in.
     
    There’s probably more I’m missing, but acting like International students are going to be in the exact same boat as domestic students if they get sent home is... ridiculous. When you consider that international students often pay astronomically more in tuition and fees it becomes even more upsetting.

    My heart goes out to international students that will be affected by this....We should all sympathize them...coming to the US to study is not only about studying but also a quest for a better life and the possibility of getting a job and making the US a home....They came here to learn and to contribute to the growth of this nation...they did not cause Covid rather for some of them their parents sold houses and properties to send them here. They pay higher school fees, they keep the number in our universities so they are open....Universities going online should be a positive thing and not mess them up. Some of them come from countries half way across the globe..where its nightfall when its daylight here...that alone puts them at obvious disadvantage. If they wanted an online degree there are countless of them that are even cheaper, they came here for the experience...They are way better than some people we allow to stay in this country.

    Getting a university degree is hardly only about receiving content. Meeting people, creating networks, debating ideas, the experience as a whole is something you can't get online. That's not even to mention the learning that just can't happen online, eg. labs, research, practicums.
     
    This is a tremendous loss for international students, but ultimately the US system as a whole is going to suffer because of it. It's a shame.

    .yana reacted to Sm1smom in SEVP modifies temporary exemptions for nonimmigrant students taking online courses during fall 2020 semester   
    Some are upset for legitimate reasons that makes online study difficult to sustain in their home countries:
    1. Lack of reliable or even none internet connection 
    2. Electricity - Power supply is a big mess in some of those countries - power supply could be available for a couple of hours a day, or even none available for several days back to back. 
    3. For those who are able to afford generations to provide them with the equivalent power supply, the noise from those generators make studying quite hard. 
    4. Many of these students could possibly be sharing a room with several siblings back at home, so no dedicated place for studying. 
    5. There’s the different time zones factor to contend with. 
     
    I’m sure there are several other reasons outside of what I’ve listed above that people are upset about.  Overall, there’s the feeling of being held accountable and penalized for a decision taken by their school administrators.

    They should keep having the exemption while the COVID-19 crisis continues and then lift it once things are better.

    .yana reacted to millefleur in Short-term move while n400 application is pending   
    It was very easy. We just filled out the AR-11 online and a notice appeared on the site that they are transferring the case to a new local office. Since my husband hasn't even had biometrics yet, my guess is his case is still just sitting at NBC until local offices/APC's start opening again, hence we haven't received any further updates. Regarding mail in general, my husband hasn't received a single piece of mail at all from USCIS since filing the N-400...I don't know if this is common with online filing or if it's a result of the ongoing insanity due to the virus. The "we're transferring your case" was an online update on myuscis.
     
    Exactly, the 90 day residency only applies before you file. If you do move and update your address, it won't be a problem since you already started the process (and met the 90 day requirements there).

    ASC's offices are still closed. They mentioned they will do a phased opening starting July 13th. Filers in March are still waiting on Biometrics, those can only be done in your local jurisdiction.

    There is also potential furlough in talks very soon, so i would anticipate a long wait on anything USCIS related.

    Biometrics are moving extremely slowly right now....we have no idea when they are even going to pick up again. Application Support Centers will start a "phased reopening" on July 13th, so not even all offices will start doing biometrics even then.
     
    If you are still leasing a building in SF until October, my hunch is that SF still your official domicile. It doesn't sound like you are not living in Vermont, just visiting. Unless you plan to actually move there, updating the address doesn't seem necessary.

    Has anyone thought that USCIS could also manually extend processing times so people are not able to inquire about their cases?
    I'm guessing the volume of case inquiries has been through the roof lately. And if the processing can take up to 3 years - the applicant technically cannot start a case inquiry until their case ages 3 years...
