USCIS Change of Address Requirements

All aliens in the United States (*including lawful permanent residents) are required by law to notify the USCIS of any change of address within 10 days of the change. Failure to comply with this requirement is a misdemeanor and result in a fine of $200 or 30 days in jail. Perhaps more importantly, failure to comply with this requirement can result in removal from the United States.

Fortunately, complying with this requirement is simple and doesn't cost a penny. To meet the requirements of law you need to file Form AR-11. This form can now be completed on filed on line through the USCIS website.
