Reporting a Change of Residential Address or Employer Information
Immigration regulations require that all non-U.S. citizens report their residential addresses within 10 days of their entry to the United States and subsequently report any changes of addresses within 10 days to the immigration authorities. This requirement applies to all non-U.S. citizens who intend to stay in the United States for more than 30 days.
Please note that the HIO is not able, at this time, to report or collect address changes to and from other University offices automatically. Therefore, international students and scholars must report their address changes directly to the HIO, and other appropriate University offices (e.g. term bill office, registrar, etc.).
Please select your visa status below for further information:
- For F or J visa sponsored by Harvard use the Change of Address form
- F or J visas sponsored by other organizations or schools.
Sponsorship by another organization refers to those with Fulbright sponsorship or other visa sponsorship, and also those working at Harvard on Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Academic Training from another school. If you are sponsored by other organizations or schools you must report your change of address to your visa sponsor directly. Please contact your sponsoring institution or agency for details on how best to submit this information to them. Please send the HIO a photocopy of what you send to the sponsor.
- All other immigration categories, including H-1B, TN, O-1, E-3 and U.S. Permanent Residence use the USCIS Form AR-11
If you are a Special Registrant you must submit the USCIS form AR-11SR
Please send the HIO a photocopy of the AR-11 or AR-11 SR that you submit to the government.
