USCIS Reminds Applicants and Petitioners to Check Form Editions Before Filing
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services reminds applicants and petitioners to make sure that they are submitting the current edition of all forms before sending your package to USCIS.
USCIS published new editions for most forms on April 1, 2024, and at the time informed stakeholders that we would accept prior editions of most forms during a grace period ending on June 3, 2024. During this grace period, USCIS accepted both previous and new editions of certain forms, filed with the correct fee.
If you downloaded or printed your forms before April 1, you should verify the current edition date, because we will no longer accept a prior edition. The current acceptable edition can be found under the Edition Date section listed on each form’s webpage.
You can also find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions. For each form that you are submitting, make sure that all pages are from the same form edition. If any of the form’s pages are from a different form edition, we may reject your form.
