Is there a fee to update my address with USCIS?

Keeping your address current with USCIS is essential to avoid missing any official communication about your case, including one involving EB-2 NIW. An outdated address can lead to delays and complications that are difficult to undo.

The update is made through an official change-of-address process, available directly on the USCIS website (the address change form known as AR-11). This applies even when you already have a pending case.

As for costs and deadlines, the rules can change over time. Rather than relying on a figure you may have seen elsewhere, the safest approach is to confirm directly on the official USCIS website what conditions are currently in effect when you are ready to update.

• Always use the official USCIS channel to make the change.
• Be cautious of third-party websites that charge for something that is handled officially.
• Keep a record confirming that the update was registered.

If in doubt, check the updated guidance from USCIS or speak with a trusted specialist, and avoid marketing campaigns that promise guaranteed results.
