Missouri immigration attorney, Evita Tolu, on a regular basis checks whether her clients comply with the USCIS Form A-11 requirements. Since September 11, 2001 the USCIS requires all foreign nationals present in the United States (non-immigrant visa holders and lawful permanent residents) to inform the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service of any changes in their address within 10 days of the move.  This requirement applies to aliens who remain in the United States for more than 30 days. 

Failure to provide the notice of address change is  a misdemeanor.  Aliens can be fined up to $200 or imprisoned up to 30 days, or a combination of both.  In certain cases, aliens may also be deported from the United States per INA § 266(b). The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement  runs a “Special Registration” program which requires individuals from certain countries to go through additional security procedures in order to confirm their change of address while in the United States. 

Form A-11 must be sent to the following address:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration two digits game Services
PO Box 7134
London, KY 40742-7134

You can also submitt this form on line at http://www.uscis.gov
