Filling out immigration applications can feel overwhelming, but avoiding common mistakes can make the process smoother and improve your chances of success. Are you confident you’re taking all the right steps? Let’s break down a few important things to double-check before submitting your application.
1. Did You Complete the Entire Form?
One of the most frequent mistakes is leaving sections of the form blank. Even if a section doesn’t apply to you, follow the instructions carefully—sometimes you’re required to write “N/A” or “None.” Missing information can delay processing or lead to denial. Have you reviewed your form to make sure nothing is left out?
2. Avoid Typos and Errors
It might seem small, but even a simple typo can cause major issues. Imagine if your name or date of birth is entered incorrectly—it could delay your application by weeks or even months. Take your time and double-check every detail before you submit. Have you asked someone to proofread it for you?
3. Did You Mail It to the Correct Address?
Every form has a specific mailing address, and it’s crucial to send it to the right place. USCIS has different addresses depending on where you live and the type of application. Mailing your forms to the wrong address can cause delays. Have you double-checked the address listed in the instructions?
4. Include the Right Fees and Edition of the Form
USCIS requires specific fees for each application, and using the wrong amount will result in your application being rejected. Similarly, you must use the correct edition of the form. USCIS updates its forms regularly, so make sure you download the latest version from their website. Are you sure your form is the right one?
