All of the Noldor return to THe Undying Lands, along with Elrond.

The appendices [which contain a wealth of lore by the way [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ] also tell us that Legolas stayed until Aragorn died. Arwen by marrying [or falling in love with really] Aragorn chooses mortality and stays and finally after Aragorn dies she returns to Cerin Amroth and dies.

Her brothers final fate is unkown and much debated, but I think they Sail West after Aragorn dies.

As for all of the other Elves, they either sail west or they slowly [over ages] fade, becoming invisible to humans.

See the poem Kortirion among the Trees in Book of Lost Tales for JRRT's view on this.

I hope that helps.
