FORM I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition

OMB Number: 1615-0044

Revision Date: 07/09/2013



Reason for Revision:

  • USCIS is revising the Form I-824 to clarify the instructions and to make them easier to understand for the customer.

  • USCIS is also revising the instructions to clarify that the form should be filed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection if the applicant is the beneficiary of an approved Form I-192 or Form I-212 and in need of a duplicate of his or her original decision. USCIS is also amending the Form I-824 to include additional information regarding the collections required by the Department of State (DOS), to process follow-to-join immigrant visa applications for certain dependent family members abroad. The additional information will enhance communication with DOS and allow the follow-to-join process to be completed more efficiently.
