About this service
Immigration cases don't pause when someone moves, and the government doesn't automatically know a new address unless it's told. Anyone with a pending matter — a USCIS application, an open immigration court case, or an ICE reporting requirement — is generally expected to notify each relevant agency separately within a set window after moving. DocPrep reviews which of those matters apply to a given situation and prepares the correct notification for each one, including Form AR-11 and any court-specific address change form.
Who this may apply to
- Individuals with a pending USCIS application or petition who have changed addresses
- Individuals with an open case before the immigration court who have moved
- Individuals under ICE supervision or reporting requirements who need to update their address on file
- Individuals with more than one pending matter (for example, a USCIS petition and a related court case) who need to notify multiple agencies at once
What DocPrep can help prepare
- Reviewing all pending matters to determine which agencies require separate notification
- Preparing Form AR-11 for USCIS
- Preparing the applicable immigration court change of address form
- Identifying whether an ICE reporting officer also needs to be notified directly
- Confirming the notification deadline that applies to each agency
How it works
- 1
List every pending matter
Identify all agencies currently handling the case — USCIS, immigration court, ICE, or a combination.
- 2
Determine required filings
Match each pending matter to the specific address change form or notification method that agency requires.
- 3
Prepare each filing
Complete Form AR-11 and any applicable court form with the new address and required case details.
- 4
Submit within the required window
File each notification within the deadline that applies to that agency to avoid missed correspondence.
Documents you may need
Requirements vary depending on your situation. Commonly requested information may include:
- New residential address and the date of the move
- USCIS receipt number(s) for any pending applications or petitions
- Immigration court case (A-number) and hearing location, if applicable
- ICE reporting officer contact information, if under ICE supervision
- Prior address on file with each agency
Important notes
- Each agency has its own separate notification requirement — filing one does not automatically update the others.
- Missing a required address change notification can result in missed notices, including hearing dates, which can have serious consequences for a pending case.

Related questions
If you have a pending immigration matter and you move, you're generally required to report your new address to every agency handling your case — which may include USCIS, the immigration court, and ICE. We help identify which notifications apply to your situation and prepare the filings, including Form AR-11 and any applicable court forms. Missing a required notification can result in missed notices or hearing dates, so this is worth handling promptly.
Let us know your updated address as soon as possible so we can use current information in your filing. If you've already filed a pending case and then move, you may also need to separately notify USCIS, the immigration court, or ICE — see our Change of Address service for help with that.
Let our team know your new contact information right away so we don't lose touch with you during your case. Keeping your contact details current also helps make sure you don't miss anything important from us.
