All foreign nationals residing in the United States for
more than thirty days, whether temporarily or permanently,
must formally notify USCIS of any changes to their home
address. All changes of home address must be either mailed
to a centralized USCIS address, via Form AR-11 or completed
online through the designated USCIS
website. USCIS expects that the Form AR-11 should
be mailed within ten days of the change of home address.
If you are a foreign national who has recently changed
a home address, please notify the USCIS by completing
and mailing a completed Form AR-11 to the USCIS address
listed on the Form or completing the online change of
address form on the USCIS
website. In order to prove that due diligence was
exercised in filing the Form AR-11, BAL strongly advises
that all such forms be sent using US Certified Mail, and
Return Receipt cards. Sending the AR-11 form via Certified
Mail is the only way to reliably prove that change-of-address
notification was timely submitted. BAL also recommends
that the foreign national submitting a Form AR-11 send
a copy of such form to their immigration attorney. If
completing the online address change form, it is best
to print the completed online form and keep the record
as proof of compliance.
Official instructions on the
USCIS Form AR-11 may be found here.

In addition to these requirements, BAL clients should
notify us of any change as soon as possible. Please log
in to the StatusChek™
Online Case Status system to review and, if necessary,
update the information currently stored in our system.
If you are a client and do not have an account, please
contact the attorney or legal assistant working on your
case.
