Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving required fields blank – every field marked with an asterisk (*) must be completed.
• Using an incorrect date format – USCIS requires MM/DD/YYYY.
• Submitting an outdated version – always use the latest PDF from the official USCIS site (linked below).
• Forgetting to sign the form – the electronic signature option in Formize is accepted for draft purposes; you must sign the printed copy before mailing.

Where to Submit Your Application

After you finish and review the form, download the completed PDF, attach the required supporting documents, and mail it to the USCIS Lockbox address listed in the form instructions. Some categories also allow electronic filing through the USCIS online portal.
