I moved too, to another state, but it didn't seem to delay things so much. I also rescheduled my biometrics appointment because I was out of state working at the time. Are you petitioning through Vermont ?

Also, is my ex-wife still my sponsor?
How long does that last for?
1. You become a USC
2. You work 40 quarter of qualifying work (usually about 10 years full time)
3. You leave the USA permanently
4. You die
5. She dies
I assume if I were to remarry at some point in the future she would still be?
I read in another thread that she has to inform the USCIS of any change of address. I know that she moved recently and most certainly will not have done that.

4 mails to Chicago 2 visits to Fresno 3 calls to the 1800 line 1 call to the Officer on duty at the 1800 number and I updated it on my USCIS online account and it still was not updated.
I am going back again tomorrow to make sure my case has been transfered again or I will have to file a motion to re-open or rather Fresno will the nice lady I spoke to last time said that I had given more then enough time to Chicago to get my address change updated and she would take care of it for me and at worst would file the motion to re-open herself... I am sure she has requested my files but I need to make sure.
Plus after thought... my 1 year extention letter expires the end of October.

Sounds like you might be waiting for some time
On another note, do you think my divorce means I cannot apply for citizenship for 8 years after receiving my green card ? Or does it stay at 5 years since I was married to a US citizen ? Not sure about that one.

It is not 8 years as you suggest.

Just curious. Why don't they say that the case has been approved ? I know it seems to make sense that if the card is being ordered that the case has been approved, but even my lawyer told me not to get my hopes up. He said your case 'may' have been approved.

Re: I-751 filed with a divorce waiver approved
Affidavit from ex wife
Letter from my therapist
Letter from my ex wife's therapist
Photos of us together during the period from when my GC was conditionally approved to when we separated
Evidence of cohabitation such as leases, health insurance, utility bills
Invitations to parties and photos of us there
We didn't have joint bank accounts and we didn't file our taxes jointly (that was a big worry for me but it seems the other evidence made up for it)
If I can think of anything else I will post it later.
