• Leaving required fields blank or using “N/A” when the form asks for a specific answer.
• Submitting an outdated version of the I‑765 (always use the latest PDF from the USCIS website).
• Mismatching your name or alien registration number (A‑Number) with other USCIS filings.
• Forgetting to sign and date the form – electronic signatures are accepted in the Formize filler.
• Uploading an unsupported file type for supporting documents (PDF only).
