How Do I Let INS Know If I Have Moved?
If you have an application or petition pending with Immigration, you should send a letter to the office handling the matter and give them your old address and new address and attach a copy of your receipt for having filed those documents with that particular office.
If you have nothing pending with Immigration and you have moved, it is necessary that you complete form AR-11.
