People who have an application and/or petition which has been filed with the USCIS but has not yet been decided should notify the USCIS of any change of address as soon as possible after moving. The law requires nearly all non-U.S. citizens to report a change of address within 10 days of moving by completing a Form AR-11. Abiding by this requirement, however, does not update an address on any application or petition pending with the USCIS. In the past, an applicant needed to send a letter to the USCIS notifying them of an address change. Now applicants can notify the USCIS of an address change on a pending application or petition directly on the USCIS web site. To change an address online, applicants need to have the following information available:
- Your receipt notice or other notice the USCIS sends you showing your receipt number;
- Your new address;
- Your old address;
- If you have filed a petition for a family member, please have the names and biographical information for that person;
- When you last entered the U.S. (or the approximate date); and
- Where you last entered the U.S. (and through what port-of-entry you entered).
The online change of address feature can be accessed at www.uscis.gov.
