Yes: if you moved while your EB-1 case linked to the DS-260 is in progress, the recommended step is to report the change to the relevant authorities.

Keeping your address current ensures you continue receiving communications and notifications, such as your interview scheduling. In general, updates are made through the official channels of the Department of State or by following the instructions provided for your case.

  • Update your address as soon as the move occurs.
  • Use the official channels designated for tracking your case.
  • Keep a record confirming the update was made.

Since procedures may change, it is worth checking the official guidance from the Department of State and, if needed, seeking specialized assistance.
