Stamping in passport in a different state

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys,

I need some advice. I got my passport stamped in Detroit, Michigan on May 25th 2004. I am still waiting for my Plastic Card.

I got a job offer in Boston, MA.

1. Can I move there and put in a address change with BCIS for my Plastic Card.
2. If my Plastic Card does not arrive by the date (May 2005) when the one year LPR stamping in my passport expires, can I go back to Boston and get my revalidation stamp, instead of my previous place ie Detroit.
3. Will I have any kind of issues with respect to my GC.

You are required to file address change form (AR-11) anyway. Just to be sure give them a call at the 1-800 number, but don't neglect filing your AR-11.

Also, according to this page on USCIS website If you were granted permanent resident status or entered the U.S. with an immigrant visa more than 60 days ago and have not received your first permanent resident card, please call 1-800-375-5283.

2. If my Plastic Card does not arrive by the date (May 2005) when the one year LPR stamping in my passport expires, can I go back to Boston and get my revalidation stamp, instead of my previous place ie Detroit.

AFAIK you should go to the USCIS office that is local to your current address as filed on AR-11 form.

3. Will I have any kind of issues with respect to my GC.

No, you are free to move, but you need to report change of address within 10 days of your move.
