USCIS Revises Filing Instructions and Addresses for Form I-824
February 23, 2010 – 4:09 am
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have revised filing instructions and addresses for applicants who are filing Form I-824, the Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition. The changes to the new form, which is dated 12/11/09, are part of an overall effort to transition the intake of benefit forms from USCIS local offices and Service Centers to USCIS Lockbox facilities. Starting February 19, 2010, applicants must file Form I-824 with a USCIS Lockbox facility, based on which Service Center or USCIS local office approved their original petition or application. Additional guidance is provided in the new Form I-824 instructions.
Furthermore, applicants filing this new form at a USCIS Lockbox facility may request to receive an email or text message notifying them that USCIS has accepted their application. Applicants who are likely to receive this notification must complete Form G-1145, the E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance, and attach it to the first page of their application.
