Address Changes for Immigration Purposes
(For
general information on address changes, please
click here)
All non-U.S.
citizens residing in the U.S. are required to be registered with and
inform the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S.
Department of Homeland Security of their current address. The law
requires reporting any change of address within 10 days of moving. In
addition, USCIS does not forward any mail, including notices,
correspondence, and documents related to any USCIS immigration
application/petition.
Therefore a current refugee/asylee or former refugee/asylee (a legal
permanent resident that received status from being a refugee/asylee)
must complete the following when he or she changes his/her address:
|
Current/former refugees/asylees WITHOUT a pending USCIS application/petition:
|
|
Current/former refugees/asylees WITH a pending USCIS
application/petition:
|
While
U.S. citizens who were former refugees/asylees are not required
to report a change of address to the U.S. government, if they have
applications/petitions pending with one or more USCIS offices, they
should notify each office.
Please
note that all individuals will need to file a change of address
form with the U.S. Postal Service to ensure that all other mail and
correspondence is forwarded to the new address. For more information on
this process, please
