πŸ“¬ Did you know that most non-citizens are required to notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services when they move?
Failing to update your address can lead to:
βœ… Missed interview notices
βœ… Missed biometrics appointments
βœ… Missed Requests for Evidence (RFEs)
βœ… Delays in receiving your Green Card or work permit
βœ… Possible case denials if you never receive important notices
Many people assume mail forwarding through the post office is enough. It isn't always.
If you have moved recently, make sure your address is updated with both USCIS and the immigration court (if you have a court case).
A simple address update can prevent major problems.
