GreenCard approved AND change of residence
 

Hey guys,
My friend's GreenCard has been approved and he is waiting for his card to arrive since the last 4 months. He recently moved to another house in the same town and was wondering if he has to take an appointment with the UCIS and tell them about his new address or is there another way out? Please let me know.
TIA

First of all, he has to send in an AR-11 form. This has to be done within 10
days of moving.
Second, he needs to inform CIS separately of his new address so that he receives
the card. It may have gone back as undeliverable already.
This is all explained on the USCIS website (under 'How Do I...', 'Address change'.)

When I had my AOS interview a couple of weeks ago, the adjudicating officer told me not to move before I had received the actual Green Card unless I absolutely had to, since USPS will not forward the card. I would have him contact USCIS immediately.

As well as letting the local office know of the change of address, has to fill in the AR-11 as well.
