I-865 Sponsor's Notice of Change of Address

The affidavit-of-support sponsor's own change of address form. A sponsor must report a move within 30 days, for as long as the support obligation lasts. Missing it carries a civil penalty, and a larger one if the failure is tied to knowledge that the immigrant received means-tested benefits.
