USCIS announced that a new edition of Form I-485 dated 09/18/26 will be required starting Sept. 18, 2026, and new editions of Forms I-539 and I-765 dated 09/15/26 will be required starting Sept. 15, 2026. A further I-485 edition dated 09/04/26 was issued in early September; USCIS will accept either the 01/20/25 or the 09/04/26 edition only if the filing is postmarked or electronically submitted before Sept. 18, and will reject both on or after that date. USCIS has stated there is no grace period for any of these changes. If you are preparing a filing around that window, check the edition date printed on each form against the current version on the USCIS website immediately before you send it.
