USCIS Reminds Customers of Revised Filing Instructions for
Forms I-129 and I-539
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds customers that, effective Monday, April 2, 2007, all Forms I-129 and I-539 are to be filed directly with the California Service Center or the Vermont Service Center, whichever is applicable. USCIS has released two separate filing charts for
Form I-129 and Form I-539 to assist customers in determining the direct filing location for their petition or application. The revised Forms I-129 and I-539 reflecting the direct filing addresses are now available online. Customers are responsible for filing the forms with the correct Service Center and should verify that they use the correct filing address by referring to the instructions on the relevant form.
USCIS customers can expect that the center where they file their petition will also be the center that generates the receipt notice and completes the adjudication of their case. Compliance with the revised filing instructions will ensure timely intake and case processing.
