Change of Address Form AR-11?
I will be moving to a new address for my new job soon and my wife and her parents have completed the required USCIS forms updating their addresses (they are moving to a new house too, in Idaho). For myself, is it just the online AR-11 form I need to complete?
Thanks

Yep, that's it.
If you are still being sponsored then the sponsor completes an I-865 if they are also moving (e.g your spouse).

Thank you. All done!
FYI, unless you have a receipt number (i.e. an impending case) then you cannot file it online, you must snail mail the form.

I've always done my change of address online even though I don't have a receipt number? The first question that's asked is 'do you have a receipt number' but even if you select no, you can still fill out the online form and it says 'change request submitted' (see attached). Are you saying that it still has to be mailed in?

Yes. Be aware that it is a reporting requirement only. It doesn't update any information on your case files... so if you're in the middle of something processing, it likely won't be sufficient, for example, to get your notices redirected.

Ian is spot on (as usual).
It happened to me. I filled out the AR-11 and my Green card went into the nether for a period of 3-4 weeks until I tracked it down.
Best call them and make sure that the address is updated on all your current case files.
