Did you know that, by law, international students (and all aliens in the US) need to change their address with USCIS within 10 days of moving? If you get overwhelmed with official government paperwork – do not panic! The process is quick and easy and can be done online.

Go to the USCIS change of address online site here. Although there are no restrictions for international students, make sure you don’t have any pending applications (eg. OPT).

To change your address while you have a pending application, the online site is the same but you should select “yes” as it relates to pending applications and complete the applicable information.

For more information regarding restrictions or other methods to update your address, go here.
