I am changing my apartment just beside to my present one ..Whole address is same except apt# . Do I need file address change form AR-11 ?
 
FILE

Hmm . very interesting question.

If I were you, I'd file the change of adress .. just to be on the safe side. You never know what they're gonna do to you if they discover that you've moved even an inch from your previous address (including apt #).
INS and some other gov't forms have a separate column/field for Apt number. They can make it a big deal!

Better to file AR-11,else there is a risk of your correspondences going to old apt# and you missing them.
 
Send the AR-11 form (using mail with confirmed receipt if possible), keep a copy of everything.
Call VSC, tell them that you have sent the form and then ask them to update your record.
 
Hey Pavan ,,

be in good terms with the new tenant of the old aprtment. Don't inform abt the address change. It may delay GC process. INS mails won't be redirected to the change of address mention in the post office. Even if u notify post office all other mails will be redicted to you except INS mails. Ask the new tenant to notify you of the INS mails posted on your name.
 
Dude

If I recall right you have your approval all you are waiting for is your card right? Now why tempt fate by not filing your AR11? It is the law and you know that.

Just file the damn form AND call VSC and let them know. If your cards have been sent then just ask your neighbor to keep an eye out for them ( You might wait for the cards before you let the post office know of your move, I think there is no rule that you need to let the PO know of your move). If the cards have not been sent then there is no problem the VSC IIO will make the change to reflect the new address and the cards will be sent to the new place. Anyway your call.

While I am at it, you might want to let the DMV know of your address change, I believe that's the law too. <sigh>
 
OK This one takes the cake ... Dude you went through

....."GOD KNOWS WHAT " to get the damned GC approval and now you want to move literally next door and invite the vagaries of INS .. Looks like you have high regards to INS "efficiency"
Have you not heard the Nightmarish stories with AR11 issues !

If I were you my ASS would stay put in the same Apt.

Gawd... I hope I have scared you enough even at the risk of annoying you .(No offense)

Have you heard this Hindi line ..."Aaa bail mujhe maar... "
well your case is a perfect example of that,
 
Last week we got the cards, so we are all set ..I am changing apt from townhome to 2bed in order to save money bcos I lost the job a month ago .. So as per your replies I guess I need to apply for AR-11 even my new apt is beside to my present one ..
Thanks every one for your suggestions ..All the best for you all ..
