eligibility category under which they are filing, as provided in the
form instructions. USCIS Service Centers will forward all Form I-485
applications to the appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010.
USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29,
2010. After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485
dated “12/03/09.”Any previous versions of the the form that are
submitted will be rejected.
After the transitional period, the Service Centers will return any
incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions to send the application
to the correct location. At this time, applicants should not
concurrently file Form I-485 with an Immigrant Petition for Alien
Worker (Form I-140) at a USCIS Lockbox facility. Refer to the Form
I-140 filing Instructions for information on how to file forms
concurrently.
WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today
announced that it has posted a revised Application to Register
Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. In addition to a
revised form, there are new filing locations. The changes are part of
an overall effort to transition the intake of USCIS benefit forms from
Service Centers to Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee
intake allows USCIS to provide the public more efficient and effective
initial processing of applications and fees.
Beginning February 25, 2010, most applicants must submit Form I-485 to
a USCIS Lockbox facility, depending on the eligibility category under
which they are filing, as provided in the form instructions. USCIS
Service Centers will forward all Form I-485 applications to the
appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010.
USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29,
2010. After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485
dated “12/03/09.”Any previous versions of the the form that are
submitted will be rejected. After the transitional period, the Service
Centers will return any incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions
to send the application to the correct location.
At this time, applicants should not concurrently file Form I-485 with
an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) at a USCIS Lockbox
facility. Refer to the Form I-140 filing Instructions for information
on how to file forms concurrently.
When filing Form I-485 at a Lockbox facility, you may elect to receive
an email and/or text message notifying you that USCIS has accepted
your application. To receive notification, you must complete an E-
Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (Form G-1145), and
attach it to the first page of your application.
