Hi.

Whats the best way for a non USC with a pending application to change their address?

1. Mailing in the AR11 2. Calling CIS 3. Online AR11

I thought the online AR11 always works, there have been people using all the three in fear.

All experiences and advice welcome.

Online AR-11.

Also change address @usps online.

I would do all three. I don't think the AR-11 will change your address on your case file. I would do the online AR-11.

Call the 800# and give them the change of address.

Mail a note with a copy of the AR-11 with the confirmation number to the address where you mailed your packet.

This way you will not leave any stone unturned. At least in my opinion.

Good luck and don't forget to change your address with the USPS.

Yes, after a lot of confusion, many people with pending applications are doing all the three to be safe. Personally I did the online AR11 and was o.k. The address change website indicates that you either go for the online form OR do both call and mail them for an effective address change.

thanks guys.

PS. A little addition. A friend of mine had to get his OPT card from the CIS, CIS ignored the USPS address change and the OPT card was sent back to them. It seems they will not forward CIS mail to the new address if the AR11 is not done.
