Re: AOS ATL - interview cancelled
I only recently moved 2 weeks ago and i received the notice PRIOR to my move. I would presume there is no way they would know I was moving, as the sale of my house wasnt complete until July 27th. The cancellation was dated July 22nd.
My lawyer advised me to advise the USCIS asap about my change of address.

To which address do you expect them to send the re-schedule letter to? Your old Atlanta one? Just curious.

In a nutshell, you are required to notify USCIS of a change of address within 10 days using form AR-11.

Re: AOS ATL - interview cancelled
the downside is i will be moving again in 8 weeks, we are having a house built and currently residing in my brother in laws townhome whilst the house is being finished. they are only 15 miles apart so i presume they fall under the same immigration office.
the only upside to this whole situation is i also have a H1 visa that doesnt expire until the middle of next year

Also, the sponsor must file the I-865 for the Sponsor Change of Address. I'd also notify the NEW local office and get his file transfered there to have his interview where he currently lives.

Maybe you could get a PO Box in Atlanta, submit your change of address as having a PO Box in Atlanta, and have someone check the PO Box for your new appointment letter while you're gone for 8 weeks. It's a shame you have to go so far away just for a couple of months, when you're expecting such important mail right now.

Plus he has a valid H-1B visa. Therefore he must be working. Wonder where he works? New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Georgia or perhaps somewhere in between and has a plane he uses for commuting in the morning and evenings.

I thought he said that after the 8-week NJ stay, he was moving back to within 15 miles of his original place, which I thought was Atlanta. LOL Oh well. Rene

I have never heard of anyone who got their interview cancelled in Atlanta. Hopefully, they will send you some notification soon. I know how terrible it is to wait.
I would still try to make a trip to the downtown office to find out about your case. Calling the 800 number is useless.
Good luck and keep us posted.

As for your original question, you have to by law tell the Homeland Security via AR-11 of your address within 10 days of moving. As for the AOS interview you have to send letters to the Atlanta office with a copy to the PA office (Philadelphia or Pittsburgh whichever one you are using) to advise them of your new address and request that you file be transferred. Note there is absolutely no guarantee that this will be done or that it will be done quickly. You might have placed your AOS interview on the backburner for a year or so.
