Revised Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and Revised Filing Locations

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it has posted a revised Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485.

In addition to a revised form, there are new filing locations.

Beginning February 25, 2010, most applicants must submit Form I-485 to a USCIS Lockbox facility, depending  on the eligibility category under which they are filing, as provided in the form instructions.  USCIS Service Centers will forward all Form I-485 applications to the appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010.  USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29, 2010.

After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485 dated 12/03/09. Any previous versions of the the form that are submitted will be rejected. After the transitional period, the Service Centers will return any incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions to send the application to the correct location.
