TABLE OF CHANGES- FORM

FORM I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status

OMB No. 1615-0003

10/16/2014


Reason for Revision

  • The form was reformatted from 1-column to 2-columns, data collections were numbered, and sub section headings were added. Applicant, Interpreter, and Preparer signature/attestation sections were added/revised/standardized and made more robust to better protect applicants.

  • Additional data collection fields were incorporated to enable verification of status in the United States based on passport or travel document information captured by CBP at the port of entry in lieu of I-94 information that may have been automated. This additional information is deemed necessary to collect in order to ensure timely verification in cases where the individual does not have a paper copy of his or her Form I-94, particularly as a result of CBP’s automation of the Form I-94 process.
