This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form.
Mark the envelope and the cover letter with the type of submission. For example, Original Submission, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485). Mark the envelope and the cover letter with the form number.
Your letter should be addressed to the USCIS office that is responsible for your case. You can find the address on the USCIS website or by contacting the USCIS national customer service center. You should also include a clear and professional salutation, such as “Dear USCIS Officer” or “To Whom It May Concern.”
Generally, I don't want people corresponding with USCIS, unless they've been asked to do so. It's generally not a good idea to just out of the blue, write USCIS a letter. So our advice generally is to not send USCIS a letter.
Submit a secure message through your USCIS online account. Submit an inquiry through the Ask Emma chat feature. Call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283. See our USCIS Contact Center Tip Sheet on how to best reach out to the USCIS Contact Center.
Mail your forms to the address listed on that form's webpage. You may send your forms through USPS, FedEx, DHL, or UPS. We encourage you to save a copy of your payment, along with any tracking number provided by the courier, for your records and so you can verify the status of its delivery.
Submitting all required initial evidence and supporting documentation at the same time you file Form I-485 may eliminate the need for us to issue a Request for Evidence (RFE)to obtain additional evidence and documentation. This may also help avoid adjudication delays if we decide that you do not need to be interviewed.
