address changed after filing for I-140/485 - Now a little more complicated

My wife's 1-140/485 has just been filed. We have not received the filing receipt yet.

We have just moved to a new address. I know we have to fill a new AR-11 form and mail it.

In the form what should we fill for the following:

a. What is the 'A' number? It says copy from alien card. Should we leave it blank?

b. My employer (the dependent) has changed since we submitted the I-140/485 . Should I now fill the new employer details in the AR-11 form?

c. What do we fill for Fingerprint Identification Number? Should we leave it blank?

Thanks.

----- You should mail the AR11 for your wife and for you. Also update the NCSC on phone # 18003755283, better update after you receive I-485 filing receipt, if EAD, AP also filed provide the receipt # of all the pending applications so that they should change address for all pending applications.
--------- She should also send a letter to your service center and request the change of address for all pending applications, attach the copy of I-485 filing receipt, EAD filing receipt, APO filing receipt and write your past address and new address, your complete name, DOB, and your A # ( A# will be on I-485 filing receipt check the receipt it is written left side) and out side the envelope write in big bold letters “ Attention: address change” send this letter to service center with certified return receipt mail.
In the form what should we fill for the following:

a. What is the 'A' number? It says copy from alien card. Should we leave it blank?
----- You will find the A# on I-485 filing receipt ( if a person has no A# he should write “none”
b. My employer (the dependent) has changed since we submitted the I-140/485 . Should I now fill the new employer details in the AR-11 form?
---- What do you mean by “dependent?” your wife or husband or children you’re your dependent. Provide the present employer address/contact
c. What do we fill for Fingerprint Identification Number? Should we leave it blank?
-----------Leave it blank
 
Having some problem with this situation - Please advice!!

Thanks for the information on address change.

I just found out from the lawyer that there might be a problem.

What happenned was that the lawyer had sent BCIS the applications (for I-140, I-485, EAD and AP) with checks payable to BCIS in November. Since now the checks have to be payable to USCIS, the applications came back. The lawyer then sent them the corrected checks and sent them again in December.

I was waiting to change my address after receiving the filing recipts.

Here is what I got:

Filing receipts for my wife (the primary applicant) for I-140, I-485, EAD and AP stating that they have been submitted on Dec 10, 2003.

Filing receipts for myself (the dependent) for I-485, EAD and AP. Here they have sent me 2 filing receipts for EAD (submission dates of Nov 7 and Dec 10), 2 filing receipts for AP (submission dates of Nov 7 and Dec 10) and 1 filing receipt for I-485 (submission date of Nov 7).

My initial guess would be ignore the earlier filing receipts for myself and update the information on the latest filing receipts assuming that they are current. However, I have only 1 filing receipt for I-485 (which reflects the older submission date).

Question :
Should I go with that I have and update my address on all the receipts (older and newer ones) ?
OR
update my address on all the latest filing receipts and on the older I-485 receipt (I am worried that I might not update the latest receipt if they have issued it at all)
OR
Call INS or someone who could tell what are the latest filing receipts (How to do this?)

Really confused here. Please help..
