Change of address-Didn't inform USCIS of one of my address changes

[sikander]

Dear All:

I had a question about the N-400 citizenship form.

SITUATION:
In Part 6A. ("Information About Your Residence and Employment"), it asks "Where have you lived during the last five years. Begin with where you live now and then list every place you lived for the last five years...". Here we are supposed to state our exact physical addresses in the States, and the dates (from/to) of the period we lived at each address. I have completed 4 years on my post-GC period, and next year June ('10) I will be eligible for citizenship.

Over the last 4 years, whenever I have changed my address, I have informed USCIS using the form AR-11 (Alien's Change of Address Card). However, when I moved to my current residence, where I have been living for the last ~10 months, I did not inform USCIS about my change of address using the AR-11 (and we are supposed to inform them within 10 days of moving). I will be moving out of this place after 1.5 months.

QUESTIONS:
1. Should I still inform USCIS using the AR-11 about my current address, even though I am moving out after 1.5 months?
2. Will not informing USCIS via an AR-11 about my current address (since I move out so soon) but regardless stating it (and the true exact dates I have lived at this address) on the N400 cause me any trouble in my citizenship application?
3. Will informing USCIS so late via an AR-11 about my current address, and also stating it (and the true exact dates I have lived at this address) on the N400 cause me any trouble in my citizenship application?

Appreciate your help.

Many thanks

USCIS is not fussy about past AR-11's when it comes to naturalization. Just make sure your latest AR-11 reflects the address where you're living when you apply for naturalization.

If you are moving to a different state or district, I hope you are aware of the 3-month residence requirement.

So many thanks for your replies!

Yes Jackolantern, I've taken note of the 3-month residence-in-district requirement.

Thanks

Jackolantern,

I have question last year I moved from Texas and got my Connecticut Driver License, but my wife was expecting a baby and didn't get a chance to apply for DL or CT ID, if we show hospital record or child birth certificate, Is that will be enough to proof that she was here with me since I moved?

Your child's birth certificate isn't proof that she was living with you since you moved. However, it is very good proof of having a bona fide marriage.

Thanks for the reply, actually my question was how to proof 3-months Connecticut resident for her before she applied N-400, we came in MAY 2009.

BTW- she got YL in which USCIS is asking either DL or State ID.

Make sure she has a CT license or state ID before the interview.

Gather up other documents with her name on it showing that she has been living at the CT address before filing the N-400, such as bank statements, lease/mortgage statements, utility bills, etc.
