Immigration
Alert
Bulent
Dogruyol, President / SNE-TACA - The Justice Department has recently
announced that it intends to use criminal penalties against immigrants
and foreign visitors who fail to notify the government of a change of
address within 10 days. All non-immigrants and permanent residents are
required to submit notification of a change of address to the INS Headquarters
within 10 days. Failure to report this information is punishable by
fine or imprisonment and/or deportation. download a change of address
form from the INS website at: www.ins.usdoj.gov
This morning's
Santa Barbara News Press carried an article about the government wanting
to now enforce a law that has been on the books for some time but not
recently enforced. This is the requirement that immigrants and non-immigrants
report their change of address within 10 days of such change on the
INS form AR-11. We have had calls and emails about the form. Most people
want to know what their "A number" is. Non-immigrants do not have an
"A number" and should leave that space blank. Only immigrants have an
A number. In the section on the date their stay in the U.S. expires,
people should write D/S and, in parentheses, write the expiration date
on their I-20 or IAP-66 form. In case people want to get a copy of the
AR-11, they can download it from the INS web site at www.ins.usdoj.gov
