USCIS Forms

Updated August 24, 2023

USCIS forms are documents produced by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that process immigration-related matters like obtaining residency, applying for citizenship, verifying employment eligibility, and more.

USCIS Case Status – Look up a current case by your 13-digit receipt number.

Fingerprints

Most immigration form applications from the USCIS or the Department of State require the applicant to be fingerprinted, take a photograph, and provide other means of identification. These are generally known as “biometric services,” and the exact requirements differ based on the application category.

Where to Get

After applying, USCIS or another entity will schedule your biometric services appointment at a local application support center (ASC). If you are applying from abroad, you should be able to book an appointment through the country’s U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Fee ($)

Standard biometric service fees are $85 and will usually be charged in addition to the fee of the application.

Filing Procedures

Many of the forms need to be filed by mail to one of the various USCIS offices throughout the country. Which one will depend on the immigration category under which you are filing and the state in which you currently reside. The entries for the different immigration categories explain where to mail the various required forms.
