Question about Green Card

World International

Published

Guys, it is stated in number 11 in form DS230 where to be mailed the green card. What if when you arrived in US and live in different address that is stated in number 10 and 11? Does US government automatically send the green card to you or you will still need to fill up form when you arrived in US in order to receive your green card? Thanks in advance guys...

If you have not filled them out yet (10 and 11), you may place "N/A" if you are not yet very sure of your address.

But in the scenario you have already forwarded the DS-230 part one and during your interview you are not sure about the address, make sure that you inform your consular officer about it. It that case you will be asked to provide an updated DS-230 part one. You may download this form before hand and fill it up prior to your interview so that once the officer asks you for a new one you have it ready.

If in case there were changes in the address after the interview (and subsequent visa issuance) but prior to your arrival in the States, at the port of entry you will be asked to fill a certain form (sorry I forgot the name) and submit the same when you line up at the Immigration section. Upon processing and stamping (i-551) of your passport, you will be asked (among other details) to what address you want your permanent visa card be sent. Just make sure you indicated the correct (and updated) address in that particular form.

I hope I was able to help you.

You can write "N/A" or just put the address that you intend to stay. Anyway, when you arrived, the custom official will ask you if that is the address they are going to send the green card.
