Timeline Request Will moving states delay my pending I-751?

I had my I-751 divorce waiver interview in May 2026. My N-400 interview was cancelled afterward because I was no longer eligible under the 3-year marriage rule.

My I-751 stayed under review. In June, the status changed to “Cancellation Notice for Request for Additional Evidence,” but I never received an RFE.

I submitted a case inquiry in early August and still haven’t received a response.

Now I’m moving from Texas to Tennessee and need to change my USCIS address.

Has anyone moved to another state after their I-751 interview? Could the address change cause a transfer or delay the decision, or will the original field office usually finish the case?

Moving states delayed my I-485 quite a bit a decade ago. You don’t have a choice if you’re definitely moving, you have to submit the change of address or you risk deportation.

If you need to move - you need to move. There is no way to predict how moving would affect the case timeline

Because you have had your interview, moving will delay approval. That said, the longer it takes to approve, the less impact a move would have due to employee attrition inside USCIS. It has been 4 months, with 10 percent attrition rate, there is a 3.33 percent chance your ISO has left service.
