Common Form Mistakes That Cause Delays

Incomplete Information

Leaving fields blank or writing "N/A" incorrectly can cause RFEs (Requests for Evidence).

Missing Supporting Documents

Each form requires specific evidence. Missing documents delay your case.

Wrong Form Version

USCIS frequently updates forms. Using old versions causes automatic rejection.

Incorrect Fees

Fee amounts change regularly. Wrong payment = returned application.

Translation Errors

All foreign documents need certified translations with specific requirements.

Missed Deadlines

Many forms have strict deadlines. Missing them can have severe consequences.
