USCIS Announces Filing Location Change for Certain Employment-Based I-485 and Related Forms
March 29, 2024
On April 1, 2024, USCIS is changing a new filing location for concurrently filed Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service; Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers; and Form I-485, Application to register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and for related Forms I-131, Application for Travel Document; I-765, Application for Employment Authorization; and I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, filed with the application package, from USCIS service centers to a USCIS lockbox.
This filing location change is part of our larger initiative to centralize petition and application intake, as well as leverage USCIS lockbox receipting capabilities. This will help increase efficiency by reducing our footprint at service centers and the costs associated with service center intake of these forms. It also allows us to focus our resources on adjudication and case completion. In addition, the change in filing location permits USCIS to centralize the digitization of these forms for electronic adjudication. In turn, we gain time and cost savings associated with file movement and storage. This provides greater operational flexibility to redistribute and align workloads based on resources and priorities.
