Address Reporting
Instructions on reporting your US and foreign addresses as required by U.S. federal regulations for F1 and J1 Students.
Address Reporting Requirement for SEVIS Compliance
Federal regulations require that all F1 or J1 students provide their school with a physical U.S. address (also known as local address) and a permanent foreign address (outside of the U.S.), while they are studying at NJIT or have post-completion work authorization. Regulations also require all students with F1 or J1 status to report changes of address within 10 days of a move. When you report your address in the Pipeline we will review it and update it in your SEVIS record. International students MUST have at least 2 types of address listed on the Pipeline:
Local address = U.S. address
Permanent address = address in your home country
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 Pipeline. Make sure your address is entered correctly and it is not set to expire. Without your local address you are at risk of losing your immigration status.
