Changing your state after filing the I-485 (Adjustment of Status) and I-765 (Employment Authorization) doesn’t typically cause a major delay, but it can potentially complicate things a bit. When you move to a new state, you need to update your address with USCIS, and in some cases, they might transfer your case to the appropriate service center based on the new state.
While the change of address itself is a standard procedure, it’s important to make sure all steps are done correctly to avoid delays. Make sure to submit the AR-11 form and update your address online through the USCIS website to keep things smooth.
Keep in mind that while it might not cause a significant delay, every case is different, so it’s always a good idea to keep track of any updates from USCIS. If you’re moving to a state with a different service center, you might notice some additional processing time, but it's usually manageable.
Good luck with your process
