When you move to a new address during immigration proceedings, you may need to file a Motion to Change Venue to transfer your case to the immigration court nearest your new residence.

What Evidence Can Support the Motion?

Each immigration judge may have different requirements.

• Some judges accept only the EOIR-33 Change of Address Form as sufficient proof of your new address.

• Others expect additional documentation confirming your residence, such as:

  • Bank statements showing your new address

  • Lease or rental agreements

  • Insurance cards

  • Tax documents or other official correspondence

To strengthen your motion, include at least one or two supporting documents in addition to the EOIR-33 form. This helps demonstrate that your move is genuine and that the new court has proper jurisdiction over your case.

Summary:
For a Motion to Change Venue, file the EOIR-33 form and include supporting evidence—like a lease or bank statement—to confirm your new address.
