Q: Is it mandatory to fill the "Previous Physical Address" section in form AR-11?
I was underage when I got my green card and my parents didn't know they had to update our address with USCIS. I just found out about for AR-11 recently. Now I want to fill the form to update our address, but we have moved multiple times in the past and there is a section in the form asking about a previous physical address. I don't know what should I write there. Could I skip that section? because I noticed that it has no asterisk (*) that indicates it is a mandatory field.
A:
The last address that USCIS and the new one should be okay. You are required to fill out the form. If you do so, you ‘should be’ in compliance as a matter of DHS discretion. It’s those found not in compliance that have an issue. Don’t delay any longer!
Review the requirements for ’timely filing’ of your future AR-11 forms with your family. Consider filling for naturalization. If concerned, hire an immigration and naturalization attorney. Good luck.
A: The last address that your parents know USCIS has along with the current address.
