A headline is not an instruction

Immigration announcements, court decisions, agency alerts, forms, fees, and filing procedures can change at different times. Before acting, confirm the effective date and whether the update applies to your form, category, and filing method.

  • Start with USCIS, the Department of State, CBP, EOIR, or the Federal Register.
  • Save a dated copy of the guidance used to prepare the filing.
  • Recheck the form edition, fee, and address immediately before submission.
