USCIS Expands Online Filing Options for Immigration Applicants

USCIS lets people submit some immigration forms online.

Applicants may fill in a form on a website or upload a completed PDF with evidence.

Some H-1B, F-1, Green Card, citizenship, and family-related filings are included when they meet the rules.

But not every form or application type can be filed online.

Some applications must still be mailed on paper.

People should check USCIS’s list to see which filing method applies to them.

The article also describes special rules for joint applications and applications submitted together.

Choosing the wrong online form category can cause a filing to be denied, and the fee may not be refunded.
