You are allowed to move while living in the United States on a green card or other visa but don’t forget to update your address with USCIS. Immigrants who have been staying in the United States for more than 30 days must notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of any changes to their address. Each family member, including children, should file a separate notification.
It is important to keep USCIS informed of any changes in your address if you are an immigrant who has been residing in the United States for a period of 30 days or more, as well as each family member, including children.

It’s also vital to tell your immigration attorney if you’ve moved and changed your address. Do this so there are no delays that could hurt your case.
To file an address change with USCIS, you can update your existing USCIS online account or submit Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card, online or by mail.
