Form I 865 applicabilty Q.
This is on behalf of a sponsor.
Now the citizen moved to another addres.Does he need to File I 865 technically?
The info on http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...0045f3d6a1RCRD
link mentions as below.
U.S. Citizens
U.S. citizens are not required to file a Form AR-11 and can make a change of address on pending cases via our Online Change of Address page or by calling 1-800-375-5283. U.S. Citizens who do not have an application or petition pending with USCIS are only legally required to notify USCIS of a change of address if they have previously submitted a Form I-864 on behalf of someone** who has become a permanent resident**. If you have previously submitted a Form I-864 for someone who immigrated to the U.S., you must complete a Form I-865 within thirty days of the completion of your move.
And as per:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/G3_English.pdf.
U.S. Citizens
As a United States (U.S.) citizen, you are only required to update
your address with USCIS if you have ever submitted a Form I-864,
Affidavit of Support, to be the financial sponsor of someone** so theycan immigrate**. You are required by law to tell us of any change of
address within 30 days of your move by filing a Form I-865, Sponsor’s
Notice of Change of Address. You can download the
I-865 and instructions from our website.
So which one is to be followed technically?One says only needed for immigrated cases and other says for so they can immigrate.
Any ideas please??
The mere fact that an I-485 has not yet been approved may give reason for confusion, however, if you actually read the form instructions, it is clear that once you file an I-864, you are obligated to notify USCIS of your change of address UNTIL the obligation ends according to the contract terms. You and all sponsors have your very own USCIS database just for that.

The "pending cases" referred to are the I-129s, I-129Fs, I-130s or I-140s etc.. that you filed as a petitioner.
Thanks Bigjoe5.
But can you please look in to that as it is little ambiguous regarding AOs pending issue.
8 CFR section 213 a. 2.
(e) Commencement and termination of support obligation. (1) With respect to any intending immigrant, the support obligation and change of address obligation imposed on a sponsor, substitute sponsor, or joint sponsor under Form I–864, and any household members support obligation under Form I–864A, all begin when, the immigration officer or the immigration judge grants the intending immigrants application for admission as an immigrant or for adjustment of status on the basis of an application for admission or adjustment that included the Form I–864 or Form I–864A
This applies --Once granted or in pending too?
Also please have a look:
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Str...uides/F2en.pdf.
It has 3 categories for I 864:One is:
If You Are a U.S. Citizen and You Have Financially
Sponsored Someone Who Has Immigrated and no other specifies in the process of kind.
Any further ideas pl.?
