Starting June 29, 2020 USCIS is changing filing locations for U visa forms and Adjustment of Status Forms for U visa holders. The term that USCIS uses for lawful permanent residency is “adjustment of status”. USCIS will allow for a 30-day grace period for petitioners to file their U visa and Adjustment of Status forms, and all related forms, at the incorrect service center. The grace period will run through July 30. After that date, USCIS may reject any Form I-918, Form I-918A, Form I-918B, Form I-485, and all related forms sent to the incorrect service center.

[Sep. 21, 2020 Update] Please note: Petitioners can file their I-765 Work Authorization and I-192 Advanced Permission to Enter as a Nonimmigrant applications with their U visa form concurrently. When filing these forms concurrently petitioner victims living in green states are required to file these application forms at the USCIS Nebraska Service Center (NSC) and petitioners living in blue states must file these application forms at the USCIS Vermont Service Center (VSC).
