While your Green Card application is still pending with USCIS, there are a few things you could do. Once you have already filed Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), do not forget to do this.

Frequently, people who have applied for a Green Card may have to change to a new home. Therefore, it is essential to report USCIS where you are currently living if you have moved to a new location.

Green Card applicants must update address

Bear in mind that it is mandatory to update your home address with USCIS within 10 days once you move. What are the consequences of not updating your address?

As a matter of fact, you may miss out on important notices from USCIS related to your Green Card application. Even if you update your address with the U.S. Postal Service, it will not be enough.

So report it to USCIS as soon as possible. Visit the USCIS official website to do so: https://www.uscis.gov/addresschange. There, you will find information regarding your address change.

3 tips when Green Card application is pending

The second tip USCIS provides Green Card applicants once they know they must update their address is related to case processing times. Check the average time it takes for a particular USCIS office at:

  • https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

In this way, you can have an idea of how long they may take to process your Form I-485. Those applicants who did it through the employment-based Green Card may be willing to check the USCIS Immigration and Citizenship Data.

What is more, they should have a look at the case status updates regularly. Keep in mind that you can do it online or you can call its USCIS contact center at 800-375-5283.

Do you need to travel while your Green Card application is pending? If so, see the instructions before you travel. USCIS can help you find out more if you read the instructions for Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records.
