Abstract: Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1229(a)(1)(F)(ii) and 8 CFR l003.15(d)(2), individuals in EOIR
immigration proceedings must provide the Immigration Court or Board of Immigration Appeals
(BIA) with written notice of changes to the individual’s address and contact information within
five days of any change. To assist individuals in providing such written notice to the agency,
EOIR created the Form EOIR-33. The form collects the individual’s name, alien registration
number (A-number), former and current contact information (address, phone number, and e-mail
address), and signature. The form instructs that an individual must serve a copy of the Form
EOIR-33 on the opposing party. This information collection is required when an individual in
EOIR immigration proceedings changes their address or contact information. The Form EOIR-33
is used by EOIR to maintain up to date mailing addresses and contact information of individuals
who are subjects of immigration proceedings before the Immigration Courts and BIA so that
individuals receive official communications about their immigration proceedings from EOIR and
the opposing party. EOIR created two versions of the Form EOIR-33, one for submission to the
Immigration Court (EOIR-33/IC) and one for submission to the BIA (EOIR-33/BIA). Both
versions of the form are available in seven languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Haitian Creole,
Portuguese, Punjabi, and Russian) and may be filed with the agency and served on the opposing
party electronically or by mail or hand delivery.
