Book note

Reporting to USCIS is separate from updating your school records. You must also update your SEVIS record through your educational institution, which maintains your student visa status. The other three countries also mandate reporting address changes to immigration authorities or schools, though both the deadlines and procedures differ by country. Always follow the instructions posted on your local immigration authority’s website.
