Can i have a different mailing address uscis
Yes, you can have a different mailing address for USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) than your permanent address. Here are some scenarios where you might need to provide a different mailing address:
- PO Box: If you don't want to share your physical address with USCIS, you can use a PO Box as your mailing address.
- Relay address: If you're concerned about receiving sensitive documents at your home address, you can use a relay address, such as a friend's or family member's address, to receive your USCIS documents.
- Business address: If you're a business owner or have a professional address, you can use that as your mailing address for USCIS purposes.
- Secure address: If you're concerned about identity theft or other security issues, you can use a secure address, such as a mailbox service or a secure mailbox provider, as your mailing address.
To provide a different mailing address to USCIS, you can:
- Use the online USCIS account: If you have a USCIS online account, you can update your mailing address by logging in and following the prompts.
- File a Form AR-11: You can file a Form AR-11, Change of Address, with USCIS to update your mailing address. You can submit this form online or by mail.
- Contact the USCIS Contact Center: You can also contact the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 (TTY 1-800-767-1833) to request a change of address.
Remember to always keep your mailing address up to date with USCIS to ensure you receive important documents and updates about your immigration case.
