Form I-140 Fillable PDF – Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers

What Is Form I-140?

Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, is the official USCIS document used by employers (or self‑petitioning individuals) to request permanent residence for a foreign worker in the United States. The form covers EB‑1, EB‑2, and EB‑3 employment‑based visa categories.

When to Use Form I-140

You must file Form I-140 when you have an approved labor certification or qualify for an exemption (e.g., extraordinary ability, national interest waiver). The petition can be filed at any time, but labor certifications expire after 180 days.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving any required field blank – every question in Part 1 and Part 2 must be answered.
• Using a PDF from a different edition – always use the latest edition (06/07/24).
• Submitting a paper form with mismatched page numbers or missing pages.
• Failing to attach the proper supporting evidence (labor certification, proof of ability, financial documents).

Where to Submit Your Petition

Form I-140 can be filed either by mail or online through the USCIS website. If you are filing a standalone I‑140 (no accompanying forms except a possible G‑28), you may use the online filing option. Otherwise, mail it to the address listed in the USCIS Direct Filing Addresses for Form I‑140.
