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.
