OPT Pending Application - Address Change

Optional practical training applicants who have changed their address since submitting Form I-765 and have not received their EAD card must file the USCIS Online Change of Address Form (AR-11) . Failure to do this update on Form AR-11 could cause delays in receiving the EAD.

Please have the following information available:
  • Your receipt notice or other notice sent showing your receipt number (this is your WAC number).
  • Your new address.
  • Your old address.
  • Your last U.S. re-entry information (date and port of entry).

Students may also contact the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283, but it may be more efficient to file the change of address online for a pending OPT request.

Note: Changing your address using Form AR-11 doesnot automatically update your SEVIS (US) address in Peoplesoft. You must update your (US) address on Ecampus within 10 days of moving and notify ISS so that we may update your SEVIS record. ( http://icenter.stanford.edu/students/current/address.html ) Failure to do so is a violation of your status.
