While your Green Card application<\/strong> is still pending with USCIS<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

Frequently, people who have applied for a Green Card<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Green Card applicants must update address<\/h2>\n

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

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

So report it to USCIS<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

3 tips when Green Card application is pending<\/h2>\n

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

    \n
  • https:\/\/egov.uscis.gov\/processing-times\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

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

    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<\/strong> contact center at 800-375-5283.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Do you need to travel<\/strong> while your Green Card<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
