Change of Address

Notifying USCIS (Immigration)

All non-citizens (except those in J and F visa status) must notify the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) directly of any change of home address by completing Form AR-11 within 10 days of moving.

Form AR-11 is available on the USCIS website and may be submitted by mail or online.

Important Notes

• Each foreign national must submit an individual address change notification. For example, a family of 5 should submit 5 separate Form AR-11s instead of listing all 5 people on one form.
• The Form AR-11 requests an A number, but please note that not everyone will have an A number.
• If you are changing your address while your visa application is pending with a USCIS Service Center, you should reference your pending application in Form AR-11.
• If you submitUSCIS correspondence should be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, or some other method providing proof of delivery (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.). - See more at: https://pips.partners.org/maintaining-visa-status/H-1B-visa/change-of-address.aspx#sthash.DoXKFRAQ.dpuf
