E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance | USCIS
Summary: Form G-1145 is a one-page document used to request electronic notification (email and/or text message) from USCIS when an immigration application or petition is accepted at a Lockbox facility.
Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance, is a voluntary form provided by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). By clipping this form to the first page of an application package, applicants can receive an email or text message notification within 24 hours of USCIS accepting their filing. This service is available only for specific forms processed at USCIS Lockbox facilities. The notification provides a receipt number for tracking purposes but does not grant legal status or benefits. USCIS will still mail an official Form I-797C receipt notice within 10 days of acceptance.
