Special Information for Applicants Residing in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)

If the applicant is lawfully present in the CNMI, the applicant may be eligible to apply for a grant of status with this form

without having to seek consular processing. The request for the initial grant of status must be accompanied by an

additional biometrics service fee as described in section 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1) and evidence of the applicant's lawful

presence. The applicant will be required to submit biometric information before the application for a grant of status is

approved. Although this is a request for an initial grant of status rather than a change of nonimmigrant status, in Part 2.,

the applicant should select Item Number 2.a., and identify the nonimmigrant status he or she is initially requesting in

Item Number 2.b.

Address Changes

If you have changed your address, you must inform USCIS of your new address. For information on filing a change of

address go to the USCIS website at

/addresschange

or contact the USCIS National Customer Service

Center at 1-800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) call: 1-800-767-1833.

change of address requests.

If authorized by USCIS, you may submit this form online. Please check the USCIS website for the latest information on

whether electronic submission of this form is possible. If you are filing this form in USCIS ELIS, you must change your
