Re: I-751 tricky situation....help needed
Hi, I didn't realize that your I-751 hadn't been filed yet.
Now follow me here - Whenever you move, you will file the AR-11. That would not update the address for your I-751. But when you do file the I-751, you will file it with the new address. Now in that case, *most probably* you will get the NOA and the biometrics letter, maybe even the interview letter and the subsequent green card at your new address. I know it happened in my case. The last address that CIS had on file for me was the one that they had at the time of entry. When I filed the I-751, it was with the new address and then everything that I subsequently got was at the new address.
Problem is, just because it happened with me, does not mean it is the norm. You never know when CIS might screw up. Once you file the I-751 with your new address, then go online and make sure you have updated the address for the petition, and then a few days down the line receive a letter from CIS confirming that they have the new address, keep both the print out and the letter as proof of having updated the address for the pending petition, you know that you are protected and even if the correspondence still erroneously gets sent to the old one (unlikely), following which you get the removal letter, you still have nothing to worry about.
Isn't that a nice feeling?
Bottomline - It really is your decision. I felt safe after doing it. You decide what you think is best for you.
