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.

How to Complete the Form Online

Instead of downloading the PDF and editing it manually, simply click the "Fill out this form" button on this page. The Formize PDF Filler app will load instantly, allowing you to:

  • Enter data directly into fillable fields.
  • Save progress and return later.
  • Validate required fields before submission.
  • Download a completed PDF ready for mailing to USCIS.

All you need is an internet connection and a modern browser.

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.
