With few exceptions, all foreign nationals in the United States for more than thirty days are required to report a change of address within 10 days of relocating by filing Form AR-11 with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS). This rule applies to all foreign nationals age 14 or over, whether in the United States temporarily or permanently, except for those in "A" or "G" visa status. Failure to file the Form AR-11 could subject the foreign national to removal from the United States, and could also jeopardize the person's ability to obtain future immigration benefits.
Official instructions on filing the Form AR-11 can be found by clicking here.
Though it is not a requirement, we recommend that the Form AR-11 be submitted by certified mail or some method that provides a receipt or confirmation of delivery. If you are a client of ours, we ask that you please forward us a copy of the completed AR-11 for your file.
