If you are I-485 asylee applicant, you have to report your change of address to NSC in addition to the requirement to the AR-11 address report form. Check INS website, everything is clearly explained in there.
NSC has designated a PO box for change of address:
INS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87865
Lincoln, NE 68501-7865

Check NSC webpage
After you mailed your change of address, call NSC and talk to an IO and make sure they have changed your address.

A question Alan,

When I received my I-485 RN it was mailed to my lawyer's office, I just have a copy of it. If I change my address, does it mean that all the mailing is going to be sent directly to me?? Because I really prefer to receive all the info, actually I don't want my lawyer anymore, I know more than him about asylum.

Have you applied before for EAD or RTD? If so, who received them? your lawyer or you?
When reporting the change of address to NSC, include your allien number and I-485 LIN receipt number. Include the ones for your family members if there is any derivative also applying for LPR.
After changing your address averything will be sent to you. Also, after reporting the change, talk to a IO and make sure they have your new address and will send everything to you. Good luck

If you really "don't want my lawyer anymore", you must notify the INS in writing of your decision. Until you do, the INS is required by law to treat your lawyer as your legal representative who continues to receive correspondence related to you.

Yes I have applied for RTD and EAD, and they have sent them directly to me, maybe because my address was in the forms that I sent with the request.

Gilbert, about the lawyer, do you mean that if I just change my address, I'm going to receive all the information and my lawyer receives a copy? or just the lawyer if I don't notify IRS about my decision.

The question is because I don't care if he receives a copy, actually I already paid in full for his services, but I want to have control of the situation.

Thank you guys.
 
The INS is supposed to send copies of correspondence to the applicants AND their lawyers. Things such as green cards, RTDs and EADs go to the applicants only. But given the way the INS is, sometimes only the attorney (or the applicant) receives stuffs.

Your changing address does not change your situation. Your lawyer is still your lawyer and he will get copies of your correspondence. As the INS continues to goof, it is perfectly possible that your lawyer is the only person who gets your stuff.

Again, you can ask the INS at any time to remove your attorney, after which he will not receive more notices.
