A:
It's important to update your address with USCIS within 10 days of moving, as required by law. However, if you've already updated your address later than this timeframe, it's unlikely to have a significant impact on your citizenship application.
USCIS generally understands that sometimes there may be delays in reporting changes. The key is that you've made the update. It's better to report the change late than not at all. If asked about the delay during your citizenship process, be honest and explain the circumstances.
To be on the safe side, keep a record of when and how you updated your address with USCIS. This documentation can be helpful if any questions arise during your citizenship application process.
Remember, maintaining open and honest communication with USCIS is crucial. While a delayed address change is usually not a major issue, consistently following their guidelines and promptly updating your information is always advisable.
