USCIS Added Six Forms for Online E-Filing Program |
6/17/2004
On May 26, 2004, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) included six new forms for customers to apply for immigration benefits online to expand its E-Filing program.
Initially, when the Internet-based customer service initiative began last year (May 2003), it allowed customers to file for two of the most frequently used applications online: Application to Replace a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90) and Application for Employment Authorization (Form I-765).
Since the establishment of E-Filing, more than 115,000 customers have chosen to apply online for immigration benefits. Online Forms Launched in 2003. With the addition of the six new forms online, E-Filing now supports eight forms that account for more than 50% of the total volume of benefits applications USCIS receives annually:
Form I-90, Application to Replace a Permanent Resident Card
Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization New Online Forms
Form I-129, Petition for a Non-immigrant Worker
Form I-131, Application for Travel Document
Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker
Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Non-immigrant Status
Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status
Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service
After filing online, customers will receive instant electronic confirmation that their applications were received. Customers can then schedule an appointment, if necessary, to visit an Application Support Center at a convenient time - by calling the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 - for the collection of a digital photograph, signature, and fingerprints.
Customers pay fees online with a credit or debit card or through the electronic transfer of U.S. funds from their checking or savings account. Customers do not need to obtain a money order or a cashier’s check. USCIS intends to add electronic filing capabilities for additional forms by the end of Fiscal Year 2006. Filing instructions and eligibility information for E-Filing are available at www.uscis.gov.
