Filing your USCIS forms by mail? Here are some important tips to ensure your forms are submitted correctly and avoid delays:
1. Sign Your Form
Double-check that you’ve signed your form in the correct area. Unsigned forms will be returned to you, delaying the process.
2. Use the Latest Form Version
Be sure to use the most recent version of the form, which you can find on the official USCIS website. Complete the form electronically before printing it to ensure it’s accurate.
3. Avoid Mailing Duplicate Submissions
Don’t mail a form that you’ve already submitted online. Stick to one submission method to prevent confusion.
4. Write Clearly
If filling out your form by hand, use black ink and write legibly. Clear handwriting will help prevent mistakes and delays in processing.
5. Ensure All Information Is Visible
Ensure that the form’s edition date and page numbers are visible on every page when printed. This helps USCIS identify and process your form correctly.
6. Complete All Sections
Make sure to fill out all required sections of the form. Leaving any section incomplete can lead to your form being rejected.
7. Don’t Use Highlighters or Correction Fluid
Avoid using highlighters, correction fluid, or tape on your form as these may interfere with the scanning process.
8. Provide Consistent Information
Use the same information across all forms you submit. If you’ve had any legal name changes, include the relevant documentation.
9. Check Filing Fees
Use the USCIS Fee Calculator to confirm the filing fee amount. Incorrect fees will result in your form being rejected.
10. Separate Payments for Each Form
If you’re submitting multiple forms, make sure to pay the fee separately for each form. If one payment is incorrect, it could result in all forms being rejected.
By following these simple but essential tips, you’ll increase the chances of your forms being accepted and processed smoothly.
