U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) introduced a new tool called Enterprise Change of Address (E-COA). This new feature allows qualifying customers with pending applications, petitions, or requests to easily update their address with USCIS.

E-COA streamlines the address update process and provides several benefits:

  • Most individuals with a USCIS online account can use E-COA to update their mailing and physical addresses for pending applications, petitions, or requests.
  • This eliminates the need to update their address in multiple places or use paper forms like the AR-11.
  • E-COA automates address changes for almost all types of forms, with only a few exceptions.
  • Customers who do not have pending applications can still use the tool to notify USCIS of their address change.
  • E-COA is available in English and can be accessed through a USCIS online account, regardless of whether the pending case was submitted online or by mail.

Please note that individuals protected under specific provisions cannot use E-COA during the initial phase. They have separate instructions for updating their address.

As a reminder, a change of address with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) does not automatically update the address with USCIS. This new tool simplifies the address update process for USCIS customers.

If you have questions about remaining in compliance with USCIS or any other immigration-related issue, contact us at ILBSG. We actively monitor ongoing updates on U.S. immigration to ensure our clients get the right advice.
