Last reviewed: September 16, 2026. U.S. immigration forms are available free from the government agency responsible for the filing. Use the current official form, instructions, edition date, fee information, and filing address. Do not rely on an old fee table or a form copied from an unofficial website.
Official USCIS Immigration Forms
USCIS publishes petitions and applications for family immigration, adjustment of status, citizenship, employment authorization, waivers, humanitarian programs, and many other immigration benefits. Use the USCIS All Forms page to locate the current form and instructions.
Before filing, verify:
- the form edition date USCIS currently accepts;
- every required supporting document and translation;
- the correct filing fee or fee-exemption rules;
- the current filing address or online-filing option;
- signature requirements for each applicant and petitioner; and
- whether related forms must be submitted together.
USCIS fees and payment rules can change. Check the official USCIS filing-fee page immediately before filing rather than relying on a saved chart.
Immigration Court and BIA Forms
Cases before an immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals use forms and procedures maintained by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). The Department of Justice publishes the current EOIR forms and fees.
Court filings can involve strict deadlines, proof of service, venue requirements, and different forms for immigration-court and BIA matters. A form that looks similar may not be interchangeable. Hearing notices and court orders control the requirements in a particular case.
Department of State Visa Forms
Consular immigrant- and nonimmigrant-visa processing is administered by the U.S. Department of State. Use the official Department of State visa-forms page and the instructions provided by the embassy, consulate, or National Visa Center.
A Form Is Not an Immigration Strategy
Choosing the correct form requires first identifying the legal basis for the request. Family relationship, immigration history, entry records, criminal history, prior filings, unlawful presence, removal proceedings, and admissibility issues can change which process is available. Filing the wrong form or leaving out a material fact can cause delay, denial, loss of fees, or other immigration consequences.
Examples of issues that may require individualized legal review include:
- adjustment of status versus consular processing;
- prior visa refusals, overstays, unauthorized employment, or unlawful presence;
- arrests, charges, convictions, or expunged records;
- fraud or misrepresentation concerns;
- removal proceedings or a prior removal order;
- waiver eligibility and hardship evidence;
- financial-sponsorship and household-size questions; and
- filings made after a status, permit, or deadline has expired.
