This is on behalf of a sponsor.
Now the citizen moved to another addres.Does he need to File I 865 technically?
The info' on http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
link mentions as below.
'U.S. Citizens

U.S. citizens are not required to file a Form AR-11 and can make a change of address on pending cases via our Online Change of Address page or by calling 1-800-375-5283. U.S. Citizens who do not have an application or petition pending with USCIS are only legally required to notify USCIS of a change of address if they have previously submitted a Form I-864 on behalf of someone** who has become a permanent resident**. If you have previously submitted a Form I-864 for someone who immigrated to the U.S., you must complete a Form I-865 within thirty days of the completion of your move.'

And as per:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/G3_English.pdf.
'U.S. Citizens
As a United States (U.S.) citizen, you are only required to update
your address with USCIS if you have ever submitted a Form I-864,
Affidavit of Support, to be the financial sponsor of someone** so theycan immigrate**. You are required by law to tell us of any change of
address within 30 days of your move by filing a Form I-865, Sponsor’s
Notice of Change of Address. You can download the
I-865 and instructions from our website.'
So which one is to be followed technically?One says only needed for 'immigrated' cases and other says for 'so they can immigrate'.
Any ideas please??

The mere fact that an I-485 has not yet been approved may give reason for confusion, however, if you actually read the form instructions, it is clear that once you file an I-864, you are obligated to notify USCIS of your change of address UNTIL the obligation ends according to the contract terms. You and all sponsors have your very own USCIS database just for that.

The "pending cases" referred to are the I-129's, I-129F's, I-130's or I-140's etc.. that you filed as a petitioner.
 
Thanks Bigjoe5.
But can you please look in to that as it is little ambiguous regarding AOs pending issue.
8 CFR section 213 a. 2.
'(e) Commencement and termination of support obligation. (1) With respect to any intending immigrant, the support obligation and change of address obligation imposed on a sponsor, substitute sponsor, or joint sponsor under Form I–864, and any household member's support obligation under Form I–864A, all begin when, the immigration officer or the immigration judge grants the intending immigrant's application for admission as an immigrant or for adjustment of status on the basis of an application for admission or adjustment that included the Form I–864 or Form I–864A'
This applies --Once granted or in pending too?
Also please have a look:
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New Stru.../Resources-3rd level/How Do I Guides/F2en.pdf.
It has 3 categories for I 864:One is:
'If You Are a U.S. Citizen and You Have Financially
Sponsored Someone Who Has Immigrated' and no other specifies' in the process' of kind.
Any further ideas pl.?

So can we take it that way--
Technically ,while sponsor's beneficiary AOS is pending,it is not a mandatory that to send I 865 and I 865 clause applies only after AOS is granted?
May be there are other final rules etc contrary?
I tried but could not find any.
Any one come across, please provide so that things are clear for every one.
Thanks.
 
Are you trying to get out of being a sponsor? If so, withdraw before it is too late. It could be too late already if the I-485 gets approved while you are off on this tangent.
 
No. I am not a sponsor to any one.(and will not be sponsoring any one in future too :)
The issue was posted on behalf of some one and just wants to know what is the technicality(that person stumbled on this recently and he is on time filed for both AR11 etcetc)
Also posted since the language is ambiguous/confusing to so many and thought it will be helpful to all if some one finds it whether it mandatory.(all wants to abide by law if it is).
So Q again is ----is it mandatory in pending AOS situation or not?
