In late May, USCIS announced that it will continue the process of transitioning the intake part of a number of additional forms from various Service Centers to its Lockbox network. This transition is a part of USCIS’s larger goal to improve consistency and integrity in the form intake process.
Forms scheduled to be transitioned to the Lockbox network include:
- Form I-817, the Application for Family Unity Benefits (If you are filing this under section 301 of the Immigration Act of 1990)
- Form I-526, the Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur
- Form I-539,the Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status (applicable only for those forms filed separately from an I-129 form)
- Form I-129F, the Petition for Alien Fiancé
- Form I-140, the Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker
USCIS began this transition process in mid-May. At that time, Service Centers began forwarding these applications to the Dallas and Phoenix Lockbox facilities. In June, USCIS will post revised filing instructions for these forms and will officially announce the revised process. |
