Important USCIS Update: Starting April 1, 2024, new immigration forms are in effect!

Effective April 1, 2024, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has introduced new forms for certain immigration processes. In general, there will be a grace period for accepting prior editions of forms from April 1, 2024, to June 3, 2024. During this grace period, USCIS will continue to accept older versions of most forms.

However, it is important to note that there will be no grace period for several forms. These forms include:

1. Form I-129.

2. Form I-129CW.

3. Form I-140.

4. Form I-600.

5. Form I-600A.

For these particular forms, there will be no grace period, meaning that only the updated versions of these forms will be accepted starting from April 1, 2024. It is important for individuals and employers who need to complete these forms to ensure they are using the most recent edition to avoid any processing delays or issues with their applications.
