When we called USCIS (about a different issue), they emailed us the details of the service request.  To be doubly sure when you call them, be clear that you want to log a request and ask that they email you the details after the call.

Just an update. I called the USCIS they said change of address request is there but my address not updated in the system yet. If I wanna switch locations for the interview, Tier 2 officer will call me back and I said yes to that. When I asked about e-mail of the call or the service request, she said she's not authorized to that.

We’d all have our beneficiaries deported if we were held to the address change.  Your timing could be better 😬 but you’re not going to be deported.

 

Thanks for the information. You're right timing could be better and I was wondering if it's gonna effect the case in any way, that's why I'm nervous 😬

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Well, not reporting your address change sooner is already a problem, isn't it?  Does not matter to USCIS if it was unintentional.  Your interview was already set at the wrong field office, and typically, the interview will not proceed if the FO does not have jurisdiction.  Even so, you will not get deported simply because of not filing AR-11 sooner.

 

But, you need to ask for an interview at the correct FO as soon as possible.  Keep all records of your efforts to rectify your mistake, like emails from USCIS about your request for new interview.

 

I guess I can't contact them with e-mail, only way is calling USCIS. How can I keep records ?

Right, if they ask about it somehow how should I mention about I failed to do it quite some time? I don't wanna lie or try to hide it which it would be a big red flag but I don't wanna have problems about getting the GC. I'll send an email to ask about if my address change is on the records and if the current interview cancelled. 

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I am just nervous. Thank you for your time to answer.

Relax.  You filed for AOS properly and now filed your AR-11.  You won't be deported, unless you do something much more serious than not reporting your address change.

 

Call USCIS to check if your new address is properly reflected in their system and ask for your interview to be re-scheduled and moved to the local field office that has jurisdiction over your current residence.

 

Yeah but if they figure it out, is it gonna be a problem? Should I explain myself in the interview and let them know it was unintentional?

I'll call in a few days to confirm since I just filed it yesterday.

Hello everyone!

I have a problem. When we filed the K1 package my husband was deployed and we used his parents address in Baltimore as mailing address. When we filed the AOS package we kept the same address because we had to move in one month. After that time we moved like 3 times because of my army duty assignments so I didn't want the mails from USCIS got lost so I kept the parents address still. I wasn't aware that I had to let USCIS know the physical address change since the mailing address was gonna stay same. We are living in the Kansas for nearly 7 months now and I got my interview date notice for Baltimore office. 

I just figured it out that I have to inform them about address change while doing research for AOS interview today and filed the AR-11 immediately. I am freaking out after everything I read about the consequences such as deportation. Can you inform me if anyone had the same thing before? And how the change of address gonna effect my interview in Baltimore? Should I still go there on interview date? 

Thank you so much in advance.

I am in the same boat. No news since Biometrics appointment.

I just checked the timelines on here, there's not a lot of timelines for the Baltimore office, but I guess it takes nearly 11-12 months. 😕 

Is there anyone else who has the Baltimore office as the local office? It's been 240 days since biometrics, and I didn't hear anything about the interview yet.

Any Baltimore ASC filers here?  Our case was updated on 8/28 to show finger prints were taken.  No updates since then, i'm wondering if this is norm for that ASC.  It seems others ASC moved a bit faster with updates from fingerprints taken to ready to be schedule for interview.

Mine is Baltimore ASC too. My biometrics appointment was on Aug 13th, my case status changed to 'Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview' on Aug 18th. I didn't hear anything since then.

Hi all, 

 

I had my biometrics appointment yesterday. My letter said Code 2 (even though I filed I-485,I-131 & I-765 concurrently), when I got there & checked in, there must have been a note on my file as they said they would be doing Code 3 biometrics. My case status for the I-485 & I-765 has changed to "My Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken". For my I-131 application it still says My Case Was Received. 

Does that sound normal? How long could it be until I receive my Combo card? 

I am in the same situation. After a couple days, my I-485 status changed to " Ready to be Scheduled for An Interview" but I-131 is still same. I gave 10 fingerprints with picture so it's like Code 3 and I read from August filers, some officers said it's like an error and they sending everyone Code 2 while it's gotta be Code 3.  So I guess it's like this for a lot of us.

Got my interview notice today!!! October 5th 😄😄😄 this is insane lol

Congrats!! I hope everything will go smoothly🎉

I think as long as they took the 10 fingers you will be fine, because that is code 3. The lady in the office told me that they suppose to send everyone code 3. My status for I 131 also did not change so I think that is fine.

Ok some good news I think, thanks for answer

7 hours ago, bradoony said:

The same with me. The lady was very polite and she even explained to me that the computer generate the letters and often error happen and the right code should be 3 (all 10 fingers)

Hi, I had the same thing - notice says code 2 but I did all 10 fingers - but lady didn't tell me anything so I don't know if the scanned code is code 3 or not. But the AP status didn't change. So you guys think we still gonna go for another biometric appointment or they gonna use the fingerprints for I-131 too?

How did the appointment go? Is there even any provision for military spouses? 

My appointment was really fast and easy. Took like 10 mins total. About provision for military spouse, not in this phase. There are provisions for naturalize phase. Walk-ins just for active-duty military members they said

Hi this is scary, I'm glad you got the biometrics in time! What's your local ASC?

Thank you! My local ASC is (Pikesville) Baltimore

Hey guys. So here's what happened.. We didn't got any biometrics appointment letter and we have been trying to get some information about military spouse walk-ins for 3 days now. Today finally I got to chance to speaking with a Tier 2 agent and it turned out I have an appointment tomorrow morning and I didn't get any notice and my USCIS website status never changed. Thanks God I called, I was gonna miss my appointment. I wanted to share with you too so calling them might be good to know what's going on with your case.

Wow! this is scary. Thank god you called. Did you call the 800 number and ask for a Tier 2 officer or via chat? 

Yes, it is scary. I called 800 number twice yesterday and the day before and they told me to call between 8 am to 12 pm for a high chance to talk a Tier 2 officer.

Even then, you should have an appointment letter physical copy. Copy will have bar code to scan at the center and page 3 will need to be filled manually by applicant (name/height/race/weight etc ..).  How are you planning to do deal ?

Tier 2 officer sent an e-mail which includes my notice. It's the same with physical copy with barcodes and the form aka page 3. Print it and I'll be good to go.

mailing address obviously 

I'm not talking about letter, I'm asking for which local office they will give an appointment to. You still think it'll be obviously mailing address' local office?

Hey guys, I have a question. My mailing address and physical address are not the same. Do you have any idea which one of these addresses they gonna use for a biometrics appointment?
