or her previous residence. For information on filing a change of address go to the USCIS website at

NOTE: Do not submit a change of address request to the USCIS Lockbox facilities because the Lockbox does not
process change of address requests. If you have an online account, you may also change your address in the USCIS
online filing system by logging into your user account and updating your Account Profile.

Requests for Interview. We may request that you appear at a USCIS office for an interview based on your application.
At the time of any interview or other appearance at a USCIS office, we may require that you provide your fingerprints,
