National Grid: phone call - friendly, able to put 2 names
If you’re moving, call us at least a week beforehand to start, stop, or transfer your service to a new location. We ask for 5-7 days notice so we can schedule a crew member to visit your home and physically turn your service on or off. Schedule your appointment at 1-718-643-4050, on Monday – Friday, 8am-8pm and Saturday 9:00am-5:00pm.

Immigration - USCIS
If you have filed an immigration benefit request with USCIS, you must notify USCIS of any changes of address as soon as possible to ensure you receive all correspondence and benefits without delay. Additionally, all noncitizens in the United States must report a change of address to USCIS within 10 days of moving. This reporting requirement does not apply to A and G visa holders and visa waiver visitors.
