Report Alabama within 10 days to your DSO and through USCIS E-COA for your pending applicant cases; no mailed AR-11 is needed if you update online, and Chicago should remain on bank records only where it is truthfully your mailing address—not your Alabama residential address.

(f)(17)

A student must inform DHS and the DSO of any legal changes to the student's name or of any change of address, within 10 days of the change, in a manner prescribed by the school. A student can satisfy the requirement in 8 CFR 265.1 of notifying DHS by providing a notice of a change of address within 10 days to the DSO, and the DSO in turn must enter the information in SEVIS within 21 days of notification by the student. Except in the case of a student who cannot receive mail where the student resides, the address provided by the student must be the actual physical location where the student resides rather than a mailing address. In cases where a student provides a mailing address, the school must maintain a record of, and must provide upon request from DHS, the actual physical location where the student resides.

Chapter 10, Updating Address Online

Requestors who have pending applications, petitions, or other benefit requests can use the E-COA tool to both meet the notification requirement and update their mailing and physical address with USCIS for such pending cases. When using E-COA, requestors should include the receipt numbers for all cases for which they would like their address updated. The E-COA tool provides for a near-immediate change of address, helping to minimize risk of requestors not receiving correspondence and benefits in a timely manner. Requestors can access the E-COA tool through a USCIS online account and use it for all pending cases, regardless of whether the case was filed online or by mail.

Changing your address with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not change your address with USCIS and USPS will not forward your mail from USCIS. Please update your information with both USCIS and USPS. You also may file a paper Form AR-11 by mail to change your address. This meets the legal requirement to notify USCIS of a change of address. However, because filing a paper-based Form AR-11 does not provide for an automated update to your address in USCIS systems, we strongly encourage requestors to use the self-service change of address tool available in their USCIS online account when reporting a change of address.
