USCIS reminds their clients that if your address changed you should also update it with them! You should update your address with USCIS to ensure you receive all correspondence and benefits without delay and avoid possible interruptions related to your case. Changing your address with just the USPS could cause delays and will not officially change it with the USCIS.
Please review the link below to see if you fall into one of the categories that must keep their address updated! This link will also explain how to change your address with the USCIS.

Source of Information:
The American Immigration Council (AIC) has released all fifty states and the District of Columbia, for a total of fifty-one updated state-by-state fact sheets highlighting immigration data and facts. These fact sheets highlight the demographic and economic impact of Immigrants in each state.
With national immigration policy being discussed, we thought that it would be a good time to provide some statistics on the Immigrant population in the United States as provided by this AIC research. Once a week we will be posting a blog with information on three states at a time. This week we will highlight; Oklahoma, Oregon and Pennsylvania!
The AIC has compiled research which shows that Immigrants are an essential part of each of these states’ economy, labor force and tax base. As our economy continues to grow, Immigrants and their children are a growing economic and political force as consumers, taxpayers and entrepreneurs. As United States economic continues to grow, immigrants and their children will continue to play a key role in shaping the economic and political future of each of these states.
