U.S. federal regulations require that all F-1 or J-1 students provide their school with a physical U.S. address and a foreign address (outside of the U.S.) while they are studying or are on OPT. Federal regulations also require all students with F-1 or J-1 status to report changes of address within 10 days of a move.<\/p>\n

When you report your address in the Nest, we will review it and use the address to update your SEVIS record. International students MUST have at least 2 types of addresses listed on the Nest:<\/p>\n

MAILING address = U.S. address<\/strong>
\nPERMANENT address = address in your home country<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an F-1\/J-1 visa holder, you DO NOT have a permanent address in the U.S. Take a moment now to make any necessary changes to your address in the Nest. Make sure your address is entered correctly and it is not set to expire. Without your U.S. address, you are at risk of losing your immigration status.<\/p>\n

\n

Click on the Address that you want to update. For example, to change the Mailing Address, click the \u201cCurrent\u201d hyperlink under the \u201cMailing\u201d section.<\/p>\n

Note that your mailing address is your U.S. address.<\/strong> F-1 students do not have a permanent address in the U.S. Your permanent address is your address in your home country.<\/strong> As such, you should only update your permanent address if your family (who is abroad) moves to another home.<\/p>\n

Even students on OPT or STEM extension do not have a permanent address in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Leave the \u201cUntil This Date\u201d section blank.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT NOTE:<\/em> The \u201cUntil This Date\u201d section should only be completed if you moved out and need to update your address again. Whenever you move and need to update your address again, at that time, you will enter the date you moved out on section \u201cUntil This Date\u201d. Then save it and repeat steps 1-5 to enter your new address.<\/p>\n

Enter your address in this order, for example:<\/p>\n
