Question on relocation from TSC to CSC

P

It's been a long road for me on my way to the permanent residence, and it looks like that the date of adjudication of my I-485 is near. Since my receipt date is April 2002, I am hoping that I am close to the end of the road.

My question is related to whether or not I should notify BCIS (AR-11) of my relocation to California. I kept my Florida address since at the time I was relocating, even though it was after 180 days have passed since filing of I-485 I didn't know if it was acceptable to relocate to another state under jurisdiction of another service center. So I decided to keep FL address, and a friend of mine in FL is getting my mail.

Right now I am still working for the same company and I never changed the job I originally had. I only transfered from FL to CA. What do you suggest that I should do :

1) Wait for adjudication. In case RFE gets issued or file gets transferred to local FL office, then show that I still work for the same company in CA.

2) File AR-11 for change of address and notify BCIS of relocation. That may prompt transfer to California Service Center or Local Office, which may delay things, which I defintelly would not like.

I have a feeling that I will get GC in both cases since I have worked for the same comapny and had same job for more than 5 years, but I am just curious what suggestions forum members may have.

Thanks in advance
 
what address is on your paycheck ?

In case your case gets transferred to local office in FL or if you get a RFE, you will get in a bigger mess.

my attorney had a strong opinion abt this and instructed me to file for AR-11.
but who knows you could even get away without any transfers/RFes etc.

I think you should file AR-11. I am same like you, moved from KY to CA 2 yrs ago after my 485 filing. Until last week TSC did not bother to transfer my file to CSC. I got 3 EADs 2 APs from TSC though I live in CA all these time! But on April 5, my case is transferred to CSC[status says that I will be notified which dist. office I am assigned to]. So, as goAstros says if you get transferred to a local office or get a RFE, you will endup with problems. CSC processing is all not that bad [or no difference!] to TSC.

TSC
ND:03/2002
Transferred: CSC - 04/2004
 
You can change address by using AR-11.

Call USCIS and inform your move and tell them you moved to this location and your mailing address you can keep your FL address.

When I called last week USCIS she asked me do you want the mailing address also change. So there is 2 options for you. you can ask them to change your address and mailing should be old address.

But you have to File AR 11 by law. All the best for your move.

BaSh:cool:
 
to answer the paycheck question, it is mailed to my FL address, and the company is based in MN.

There are a lot of coleagues of mine that live all over the country and travel non stop. That's why I was thinking of saying that I still live in FL (my drivers lic, licence plates and everything still say FL), and work off of CA. Although if you look at my paycheck, CA taxes are deducted but it comes out of MN. So I am confused why is the address so important anyway...?

Anybody..?
 
File AR11 and notify them new address.

I know many people who changed job and moved and INFORMED with AR11 - NO RFE - PLAIN APPROVAL. You are not even changing jobs.

IMHO, it is best to follow law and send AR11 - you wil be OK
