Hi Folks!
Planning to move? Change Apartment? In case you don\'t know about this
development, all of you guys in
the U.S. should read this and add this to your \'To Do\' list.
FYI, : This notice applies to ALL NON-IMMIGRANT and
IMMIGRANT (GREEN CARD holders) FOREIGN PERSONS IN THE UNITED STATES a
recent change in INS enforcement of an immigration law (section 265 of the
I&N
Act or 8 U.S.C. 1305).
This law requires every foreign person in the United States to notify
the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) within 10 days of any
address change. The INS will enforce this requirement and the penalty for
failure to report a change in address is arrest and deportation, and
possibly even
criminal prosecution.
You must report if:
1. You are a resident (visa or green card holder) and
2. You are 14 years of age or older (parents report children under 18 years
of age) and
3. You have moved or your address has changed from the address on file at
the INS.
Send the letter to INS by certified mail, so you have a proof!
You must file form AR-11, which can be downloaded from the INS Web site:

. Is there any INS or any other site where this law is mentioned? If true, this is an important issue for all immigrants, so wondered how this law is not mentioned in any immigration sites or even in the NEWS. Can any body please confirm about this law?
