On, April 1, 2024, USCIS is changing the filing location for concurrently filed Forms I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service; I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker; and I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and for related Forms I-131, Application for Travel Document; I-765, Application for Employment Authorization; and I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, filed with the application package, from USCIS service centers to a USCIS lockbox.
Starting May 2, 2024, we may reject concurrently filed Forms I-907, I-140, and I-485, and any related Forms I-131, I-765, and I-824 filed with the application package, that are received at the USCIS service centers.
This change is part of USCIS’s larger efforts to increase efficiency and will reduce agency costs related to service center intake of these forms. This change also allows USCIS to centralize digitization of the forms for electronic adjudication, increasing their ability to redistribute and align workloads based on resources and priorities.
The following addresses should be used when mailing concurrently filed Forms I-907, I-140, and I-485, and for any related Forms I-131, I-765, and I-824 filed with the application package.
