US green card applicants alert: New Form I-485 takes effect from September 18 — All you need to know about it
USCIS will introduce a revised Form I-485 for green card applications next month, rejecting older versions postmarked after September 18.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that a new version of Form I-485, the green card application form, will take effect on September 18. Applicants who submitted the previous version of the form will no longer be accepted starting from that date, according to PTI.
