I 485 Questions/ SSN / change of address

[zaa1970]

Hi,
I am ready to file my AOS papers, my concern is that I might be moving from Colorado to Philadelphia and I don't know what is the process to follow. Do they forward my papers to the Philadelphia office? How long would this take?
In the case that I move within the next 2 weeks I would like to file the papers directly at the Philadelphia Office, however I have already had done my medical examination here in Denver, would that affect my application if I file in in Pjiladelphia??

My other question is regarding SSN. I went to the local office with a copy of my I 94 form and my marriage certificate and they said they can't issue a SSN because I don't have the original I 94 form ( which I sent to INS in Nebraska to extend my vistors status , that was in october 2002 and so far I haven't gotten any notice from INS ) The only need i have for my SSN is that my husband needs to file his taxes very soon and he needs my ssn to do so. I don't really need to work right now because i am expecting a baby. Is there another way to get the SSn or at least any other suggestion. I know that there is a ITIN number for people who don't apply for SSN, if I get that can i be able to get a SSN later on ?
I really appreciate all the information you have given me, without these sites people like me could get really super crazy.

Thanks!!!

"I am ready to file my AOS papers, my concern is that I might be moving from Colorado to Philadelphia and I don't know what is the process to follow. Do they forward my papers to the Philadelphia office? How long would this take? "

They would forward your file - not sure how much this would delay your application although it wouldn't surprise me if this would have some effect.

"In the case that I move within the next 2 weeks I would like to file the papers directly at the Philadelphia Office, however I have already had done my medical examination here in Denver, would that affect my application if I file in in Pjiladelphia"

You can file in Philadelphia although I do believe that you would need a new medical carried out by a BCIS physician in their jurisdiction.

"My other question is regarding SSN.

You can file a W-7 form at your local IRS office to request an ITIN by applying in person and presenting the required documents or by mail either sending the originals (which I wouldn't) certified or notarized copies.
To apply by mail you send the form and documents to :-

Internal Revenue Service
Philadelphia Service
ITIN Unit
P.O. Box 447
Besalem, PA 19020

You can obtain a W-7 at :-

www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7.pdf

You will need acrobat reader to view this form.
