Im hoping I can obtain a simple helpful answer without judgement...Im very confused.

I find myself divorced, fairly suddenly and for the first time in three years at a stable residence.

I have only just been made aware of the need to update my current address. Previous to this my ex-wife kept all accounts updated. Ive had to resort to renting and as such have moved three times since my last likely address change.
Is there a way I can do this without it causing a huge problem now its been left to lapse?

I dont want this to seem like Im a down and out. Ive simply been put through a really awful time and wasnt aware. I have 50 percent custody of my children and a very stable job. I just didnt know about the need to update the residence and Im not even sure the last time it was updated (IE at which address) and have no way to ask my ex as things are far from good between us.

What should I do?

Many thanks in advance.

The address rule isnt new; its been in place for decades.

Just file the AR-11 now for your current address and dont worry about it. They dont go after people for past lapses of this, as long as the form has been filed for the current address and there is no other reason (criminal record or other immigration violations) to pursue the individuals.

Make sure to use delivery confirmation, Fedex/UPS, or some other delivery type with tracking so youll have proof that you sent it. USCIS wont send you anything to confirm that they received it.

Note that if youve become a US citizen, the address rule doesnt apply to you anymore.

Oh, I didnt mean the rule was new. I meant my address has changed and is new...I guess that is rather convoluted and confusing, yes

I noticed there is an online way of submitting address changes.
Would the paperwork be any different to this? I ask as I noticed it asks for a previous address as well as the new, and again, not knowing where it had left off and been changed last, wonder if this will be a problem also?

I could simply fill in my last two addresses, but will it be any issue if the one Im changing from doesnt match the last one they have on record?

Im fairly certain the last one they have on record will be the last house we owned during the marriage. Should I use this as the previous address?

Again, many thanks for the time taken. This just dawned on me and frankly scared the life out of me.
