USCIS Form I-485: 5 Common Mistakes to Avoid

Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) is a critical step in the immigration process. Here are common mistakes to avoid:

1️⃣ Incomplete Personal Information

Ensure your full name, birth date, and address are accurate and match official documents.

2️⃣ Missing Signatures

Unsigned forms are rejected. Double-check all required signature fields.

3️⃣ Incorrect Filing Fees

Always verify the current fee on the USCIS website and include the correct payment method.

4️⃣ Forgetting Supporting Documents

Attach all required documents such as birth certificates, passport copies, or Form I-94 records.

USCIS periodically updates forms. Make sure you’re using the most recent version available online.
