Indians living in the U.S. — did you just move homes? Updating your USPS address is not enough! If you’re on any kind of visa — F1, H1B, L1, OPT, green card — USCIS legally requires you to notify them directly within 10 days of your move.
In today’s video, we break down a simple but critical step that many Indians miss: filing Form AR-11 or using the new E-COA online system to update your address with USCIS.
Why does this matter? Because if USCIS sends your green card, EAD, or interview letter to your old address, you could lose status or get your application denied.
So, whether you’re an Indian student who just moved apartments, an H-1B professional changing cities, or a family adjusting status — watch this guide to stay compliant. We’ve seen too many delays and denials because of this one mistake.
Have you ever moved and forgotten to update USCIS? Did your mail ever get lost? Tell us your story below!
