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.
If you have not received your notice, you may submit a case inquiry with USCIS in the “did not receive notice by mail” category.
You will need your 13-character receipt number from your application or petition.
If you hand write your answers, use black ink. Make sure that everything you write on the form is clear, so we can easily read the information on the scanned image we produce when we process your form.
You must return the USCIS-issued document with the incorrect information. Generally, you also need to submit either a statement explaining the error or supporting documentation to show what the correct information should be, or both.
All forms and supporting documents submitted must be single-sided, 8½ x 11 inch letter-size pages.
