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 at www.uscis.gov. You should mail it to the following address via certified mail:

DHS/USCIS
Harrisonburg File Storage Facility
Attn: AR-11
1344 Pleasants Drive
Harrisonburg, VA 22801

Important Notes:

• Keep a copy of any forms or letter that you submit regarding your address change.
• All USCIS correspondence should be sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, or some other method providing proof of delivery (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.).
• 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#, but please note that not everyone will have an A#.
• If you are changing your address while your visa application is pending with a USCIS Service Center, you should also send your Form AR-11 referencing the assigned case number to the appropriate USCIS Service Center, in addition to filing the AR-11 according to the instructions above.

You should also:

• Update your address in PeopleSoft
• Contact others who have your address (banks, doctor's offices, etc.) to update your information
• Inform the U.S. Post Office of the change so that your mail can be forwarded (you can do this by going to any post office or online at www.usps.com)
