United States: You must report your new address within 10 days of moving
美国：搬家后 10 天内必须报新地址
No cost at all. Submitting the address change online takes just ten minutes.
If you move within the United States, the law requires you to inform USCIS within ten days. Failing to do so is no minor issue. First, it is illegal; second, any mail sent to you by USCIS could easily be lost.
A
Move “United States: You must report your new address within 10 days of moving” to Future Me's calendar
The excuse
Future Me has a clearer calendar, more patience, and apparently the same responsibilities.
What feels good now
Today I keep a few minutes and avoid interrupting my default routine.
What the source says
The source summarizes the return this way: “If you move within the United States, the law requires you to inform USCIS within ten days. Failing to do so is no minor issue. First, it is illegal; second, any mail sent to you by USCIS could easily be lost.” Evidence grade A. The original states the population, caveats, and sources; this is not a personal forecast.
Use the original facts and limits. For an urgent medical, safety, financial, or legal issue, contact a qualified local professional or service.
THE ENGLISH EDITION
Original recommendation and evidence
5. United States: You must report your new address within 10 days of moving
Cost: No cost at all. Submitting the address change online takes just ten minutes.
In plain terms: If you move within the United States, the law requires you to inform USCIS within ten days. Failing to do so is no minor issue. First, it is illegal; second, any mail sent to you by USCIS could easily be lost.
Benefit: Under 8 CFR 265.1, foreign nationals required by law to register must report any change of address to USCIS within ten days of moving. Reporting via the official USCIS channels lets you both confirm the address change and provide your new address.
Evidence grade: A
Notes: 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.

5. 美国：搬家后 10 天内必须报新地址
成本: 不花钱。在线提交一次改址，十分钟
说人话: 在美国换了住的地方，法律要求 10 天之内通知移民局。不报不是小事。一来它本身违法，二来移民局寄给你的信会寄丢。
收益: 美国联邦移民法规 8 CFR 265.1 规定，按法律要登记的外国人，地址变了以后 10 日内要报告。报给 USCIS（美国移民局），按它要求的办法报，既报地址变了这件事，也报新地址
证据等级: A

备注: 报了移民局，学校那边的 SEVIS 记录（你的留学生身份档案）还要另外更新。其余三个国家也都要求换了地址就通知移民局或者学校。期限和办法各国不同，按你所在国移民局的网页办。
