Request Form Application (Form I‑824) – Fillable PDF

What Is the Request Form Application?

The Request Form Application (officially USCIS Form I‑824, "Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition") is used when you need additional action on a petition or application that has already been approved. Typical reasons include requesting a replacement approval notice, a travel document, or a change of status.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

USCIS rejects many I‑824 submissions due to simple errors. Keep these tips in mind:

• Do not leave any required field blank. Part 3 – Other Information (Receipt Number) is mandatory.
• Use the correct edition date. Verify the bottom of each page shows the latest edition (04/01/24).
• Sign the form. An unsigned form will be rejected.
• Attach supporting documents. If you request a replacement notice, include a copy of the original.
• Mail to the proper USCIS filing address. Check the Direct Filing Addresses page for the correct lockbox.
