Q: Can I keep my parent's address on file with USCIS?
I'm a LPR and keep moving wherever job takes me to so was thinking to keep my parent's address on file with USCIS as I can conveniently get all my immigration related mails. Will that cause any issue in my US Citizenship application?
A:
Yes, it will cause problems. You must live at least 90 days in the USCIS District where you file just immediately before filing. You must be able to prove it. You are required to notify the USCIS within 30 days before moving that you will change addresses. If not, you violate the terms of lawful permanent resident status.
You must register both your actual residence and mailing addresses.
There may be other challenges in seeking citizenship through naturalization. Some are placed in removal proceedings after filing for naturalization for civil violations of immigration law. As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before filing in case there are other complications. Good luck.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
A: It’s good to keep that as a mailing address. You need to notify USCIS about your physical address every time you move. You will also need to put those on your citizenship application for the five years previous to application. Frequent moving will not impact your ability to apply for citizenship.
