Providing the Department of Homeland Security with an update of your new address in the United States every time you move is required by law. Each time you move, within 10 days of moving (even within Bloomington), you are required to submit your change of address to the Office of International Services, which must update your address in SEVIS.
As an F-1 student, this is a straightforward process. If you change your “Local” address in One.IU, the Office of International Services is notified that you have updated or added a “Local” address, and we will then submit your address change in SEVIS.
