I-485 and Change of Address Question

Hello,
My RD for the I-485 is Dec 27, 2001. I really thought that I would have heard on the I-485 by now but it looks like VSC has really slowed down. Unfortunately I may need to move my residence in the next one month and do not want to create any complications with the processing. Is it advisable to move at this stage or is it best to stay just put and wait until I hear on the I-485?
Appreciate it for any advise.
Thanks.
 
You will get quite differing views on this issue.

However, you have not specified where you will move - still within the VSC jurisdiction or out of it? Also, whether the change of residence is related to any change of job or not.

It seems that there's no definitive set consequences that one can expect from the VSC. That means, transfer of residence may (in many cases) or may not (in some cases - probably at random) generate an RFE or local transfer.

The best way is to postpone any transfer of residence until you hear from the VSC regarding your I-485.

In general, if the job is the same and the new residence is also in the same city/town or within the VSC jurisdiction, I would just file an AR-11 and other than that, I would not call IIO to change address. Forwarding mail can be arranged through the local post office at current place of residence.

Best wishes,

Jigesh
