I am the principal applicant of the EB-5 case of my family. Our I-829 applications are pending. My son, who was included in the case as my dependent, just moved to another state. I still live in the same state as I did when I first relocated to the U.S. My son filed his AR-11 form online, but USCIS said that since he is not the principal petitioner, they would not take it. If I file AR-11, then my address will be changed. What should we do? Do we still need to report the change of address?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYes, the USCIS requires the filing of form AR-11 to report the change of address, until you become a U.S. citizen.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysAll changes of address for non-citizens must be reported within 10 days or it is a federal misdemeanor.
Lynne Feldman
EB-5 Immigration attorneysYes, AR-11 forms are required for anyone who moves until you become a U.S. citizen. USCIS is wrong. Your son needs to file the AR-11. He just does not list the I-829 as a pending application.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYour son who is under 21 years old may be a college student. As a college student who is under 21 years old, your address where you and your family live can reasonably be deemed the permanent address of your son.
Fredrick W Voigtmann
EB-5 Immigration attorneysYour son can file an AR-11 online and just not include the receipt number for the I-829 petition. You will still receive notices regarding your I-829 petition at the address USCIS has on file for you.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysAll residents should do so within 10 days of moving.
