Change of address confirmation

[JayJayH 546]

After filling out and mailing the AR-11, is there usually any confirmation from the CIS that the address is actually updated? I keep seeing it's the alien's job to update their address within 10 days of moving, but how do I know USCIS actually got the memo? Do I have to call and ask?

We've moved a couple of times and have always sent in the AR-11, but never gotten any receipt or confirmation.

I have done once in the past, and I don't remember getting anything back. Keep the copy of the postal receipt. In future, you could do a certified mail with return receipt for your records

I've done that. Last time I changed my address however I just dropped the stamped envelope in a mailbox.

So I take it the only way to be sure is to call USCIS and ask?

We filed a change of address by mail (AR-11), and did not get any confirmation back. So, we filed another change of address using the on-line system and it provided an electronic confirmation. Shortly after (~2 weeks) we started receiving correspondence from USCIS at our new address.

It is probably fine either way, but personally, I feel better with the on-line change of address system.
