Every immigration form requires the applicant&#8217;s signature, typically together with the date of signing. The signature verifies that the information provided is truthful and accurate to the best of your knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving the signature field blank could lead the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to deny the application assuming the application was not completed and verified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Outdated_Forms\"><\/span><b>Using Outdated Forms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An outdated form may not meet current requirements, resulting in a returned or denied application. It&#8217;s wise to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/forms\/all-forms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">download documents directly from the USCIS website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Colored_Ink\"><\/span><b>Using Colored Ink<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always complete your forms using black ink to ensure clarity and avoid potential issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crossing_Out_Mistakes_or_Using_Correction_Liquid\"><\/span><b>Crossing Out Mistakes or Using Correction Liquid<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making corrections on immigration documents can cause issues. If you make a mistake, use a fresh form to ensure all information is clear and legible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paying_Incorrect_Fee\"><\/span><b>Paying Incorrect Fee<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying the incorrect fee for an immigration application can cause delays or even rejection. USCIS offers a fee calculator tool on its website to help applicants determine the correct costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Binding_or_Stapling_Documents_Together\"><\/span><b>Binding or Stapling Documents Together<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USCIS officials must be able to separate the forms quickly, and binders, folders, or staples can hinder that process. Instead, use paper clips or rubber bands to keep documents organized without making them difficult to separate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Submitting_Original_Documents\"><\/span><b>Submitting Original Documents<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only send original documents to USCIS if they specifically ask for them. Instead, provide photocopies, retaining the originals for your records. Only send originals when specifically instructed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sending_Application_to_the_Wrong_Address\"><\/span><b>Sending Application to the Wrong Address<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always verify the submission address before sending your immigration application. Incorrect addresses can lead to returns or denials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_if_I_Make_a_Mistake_on_a_Submitted_Immigration_Form\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Do if I Make a Mistake on a Submitted Immigration Form?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discovering a mistake on an immigration form can be stressful, especially given the high stakes involved in the immigration process. Here are steps you should consider taking if you&#8217;ve made an error on an immigration form:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_To_Do_If_USCIS_Has_Not_Yet_Processed_the_Immigration_Application\"><\/span><b>What To Do If USCIS Has Not Yet Processed the Immigration Application<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognizing an error early in your immigration application, especially before any governmental action, makes it easier to fix the problem. Assess the seriousness of your mistake. Critical errors like misidentified personal data or omissions that influence your application&#8217;s outcome should be corrected immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to Correct Mistakes on USCIS Forms<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you receive a notice from USCIS with your receipt number, contact the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/contactcenter\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USCIS Contact Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about your error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, USCIS can correct minor errors on the spot. Record any reference numbers if the mistake is too severe for USCIS to fix immediately. Since forms can sometimes be transferred between USCIS offices, it&#8217;s advisable to wait until you&#8217;re sure of the exact address of the USCIS office handling your case before sending anything. Write a detailed correction letter to the identified USCIS office for serious mistakes, and include a corrected and signed form. Stay updated on your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/egov.uscis.gov\/casestatus\/landing.do\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">case status online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or through the Contact Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Correcting Mistakes on Department of Labor Forms<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Post-submission modifications are prohibited for employers who made errors in a Labor Condition Application (LCA)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> submitted via the iCERT portal. While you can withdraw the LCA, you will need to file a brand new LCA. For guidance on iCERT, refer to this<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/sites\/dolgov\/files\/ETA\/oflc\/pdfs\/iCERT_LCA_Module_External_User_Guide_April_2009.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iCERT External User Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Errors in PERM labor certification applications also cannot be edited.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Withdrawal and refiling through the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov\/perm.cfm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online PERM system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the only option available. However, for minor discrepancies between the Department of Labor and associated USCIS filings, reconciliation might be possible during the USCIS filing. This option is only viable if there is no longer time to withdraw and refile the LCA or the labor certification and if the mistake isn&#8217;t grave. Remember, the Department of Labor strictly scrutinizes LCAs and PERM applications for errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_To_Do_if_USCIS_Has_Already_Started_Processing_the_Form\"><\/span><b>What To Do if USCIS Has Already Started Processing the Form<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you send corrections to USCIS soon enough, they might accept the changes and proceed with your application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if they&#8217;ve already begun processing and detected an error, you may receive a &#8220;Request for Evidence,&#8221; which asks you to clarify the error. In the event of serious errors, USCIS might decline your initial submission, requiring you to submit a correct form and pay another filing fee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Request_a_Correction_to_Your_Notice_or_Document_Due_to_USCIS_Error\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Request a Correction to Your Notice or Document (Due to USCIS Error)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice an error on your USCIS document that isn&#8217;t your fault?
