What Form AR-11 is for

Required for non-U.S. citizens to report a change of address within 10 days of moving.

Alien's Change of Address Card (AR-11) is generally filed by applicants completing supporting forms that accompany a main USCIS filing. Whether this form fits your situation depends on your specific facts, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official USCIS page before you file.

What Asal can help prepare

We help noncitizens file address changes online or by mail so USCIS correspondence reaches them.

  • Prepare the form from the information you provide
  • Organize supporting documents
  • Coordinate certified translations when needed
  • Give you a clear filing checklist

What Asal cannot legally advise on

  • We do not provide legal advice or case strategy.
  • We do not represent you before USCIS.
  • We do not decide whether you qualify for a benefit.

If your case involves complex legal issues, consult a licensed immigration attorney.

AR-11 document checklist

  • A-Number if applicable
  • New address
  • Old address
  • Date of move

Your case may need additional documents. We give you a tailored checklist during a free document review.

Fees and official sources

USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current AR-11 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.

Processing times for AR-11 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.

USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.

Frequently asked questions

How long does AR-11 preparation take?+

Most AR-11 packets are ready within 24–48 hours after you provide all required documents. Complex cases with many supporting documents may take slightly longer. We give you a realistic timeline at your free consultation. USCIS processing time after you file is separate and depends on the agency's current workload.

Can you help me if I started my AR-11 application somewhere else?+

Yes. We often help Laurelville clients who started their AR-11 elsewhere and want a second set of eyes before submission. Bring whatever you have completed so far and we will review it, identify any gaps, and complete the packet correctly.

Do I need to come to your Columbus office, or can you help Laurelville clients remotely?+

Most of our work is done in-office at our Morse Road location so we can review original documents in person. Many Laurelville clients find the drive worthwhile because of the thorough document review. Call (380) 269-7408 to discuss your situation before making the trip.
