N400 and change of address

Hi folks,

We're hoping to close on our first house here in the US later this month (fingers crossed!). Of course this will be just a coupe of weeks after filing my N400.

As I understand it, if I register my change of address online through the USCIS site, I will be able to update both my green card records and the information for my N400. Am I right?

Personally, I would wait to file the N400 until after you move into the new place, since the difference is only a few weeks. You really don't want to mess with a change of address with USCIS.

For the green card, you just have to file an AR-11 on line,.

Unfortunately that ship has sailed - the package went in the mail last week!

I'm not too concerned about the addresses themselves - our current address is my wife's parents (hence why we're looking to get a house!) - I'm just keen to make sure I tick all the boxes.

Once you move, you need to file an AR-11 online, and your wife needs to submit form I-865. Once you naturalize, neither of you ever needs to update that info again!

Are you moving within the same city, or further away?

Thanks Ian. I'd forgotten about the I-865. Very much looking forward to not having to deal with USCIS again!

About half a mile down the road! Don't you love small towns...

Re: N400 and change of address

In that case, just do the AR-11 and I-865, and dint worry about the N-400 address.

As I recall, you must live in a specific "district" for a specific time, to qualify for citizenship. Hopefully, both parts of your small town are well within one such district.:lol:

It's three months' residence in the same USCIS district OR the same state, so unless OP lives in somewhere like Texarkana, they should be OK.
