US immigration authority has a 10-day deadline on home address
USCIS has issued a reminder that immigrants must report any change of address within 10 days of moving. The agency clarified that updating an address with the U.S. Postal Service does not satisfy this legal requirement.
Why it matters
Failure to comply with this regulation can lead to missed legal notices, delayed immigration cases, and potential loss of documentation.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has a reminder for immigrants in the country asking them to report a change of address to the agency within 10 days of moving, warning that failing to update the address could lead to missed notices, delays in immigration cases and problems receiving immigration documents. The immigration authority shared the reminder on X (formerly Twitter), also making clear that changing an address with the US Postal Service does not automatically update records with USCIS.“Changing your address with USPS does not update your address with USCIS, and USPS will not forward USCIS mail. You are responsible for keeping your address current with both USCIS and USPS.
