Does my husband has to fime change of address?

[amishah]

Hi All,
It may sound stupid but me and my husband have different opinion on this and we need your help.
I had filed I-130 for my husband 2 years back when I was GC holder (still I am). I will be a Citizen very soon and I am going to file I-485 for him then.
Now when I filled I-130, me and my husband had different addresses. Now we are living in a same house . I filled change of address for myself after applying for citizenship. Does he have to file change of address for him too?? He was student before now he is a H1-b holder???
Thanks

Yes he has to according to an old requirement which is being strictly enforced after 9/11.

I have a very similar situation as yours Amishah, My wife was GC when she filed I-130 for me a year ago, Now after becoming a citizen she filed AOS for me , surprisingly I-130 was transfered from NSC to MSC with in about a month of filing everything and Hence it is approved too ......
Here is the catch, We moved last year and since our I-130 is approved (based on my assumption that says online..) MSC sent some kind of document to my previous address, now it is a pain in the neck as I remembered I up-dated not my address back in the year when i was a student,but also we changed our address on I-130 as well.

The online case status says, the document we made based on the approval or registration of this case was mailed directly to the person to whom issued.

Now I am in such a state of confusion what document they made , must be approval I think........

So you mean they didn't updated their system after you filed change of address for yourself?? Did you receive any kind of confirmation for your change of address??
Its really a pain.

DesiFella,
To change the address you need to do thwo things
1> Send out the AR-11 form to DHS.
2> Call the 800 number of USCIS and give the operator your new address and tell them it should be changed for all pending applications. Please list the application numbers and receipt numbers for each one of them. Sending AR-11 does not automatically change your address at the service center systems.

Oops, I didn't call them. I did fill out the form and sent it out. I will call them today.
