You have two options for filing your Form I-90 application with USCIS:

• Online; or
• By mail (paper).

Filing Your Form I-90 online
You must create a USCIS online account to file your form online. Having an online account will also allow you to:

• Pay your filing fee online;
• Check the status of your case;
• Receive notifications and case updates;
• View personalized case completion date estimates;
• Respond to requests for evidence; and
• Manage your contact information, including updating your address.

Attorneys and accredited representatives: You can also create an online account, which will allow you to manage all of your clients’ applications in one place.

You cannot file your Form I-90 online if you are applying for a fee waiver.

Filing Your Form I-90 by mail:

U.S. Postal Service (USPS):

USCIS
Attn: I-90
P.O. Box 21262

FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:

USCIS
Attn: I-90 (Box 21262)

Applications and petitions that are not mailed to the appropriate filing location may experience processing delays.

If you file Form I-90 on paper, we will scan the documents into our system for electronic processing. If you do not already have a USCIS online account, we will create one for you once we receive your paper application. You will receive a USCIS Account Acceptance Notice with instructions on how to access your USCIS online account.

Note for Attorneys and Accredited Representatives: You should have only one USCIS online representative account. When you receive an Account Acceptance Notice for a paper form filed at a USCIS lockbox for your client, please ensure that you enter the same personal information that you provided on the Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, submitted with your client’s original application, petition, or request. If the information you use to access your online representative account does not match the information you provided on the Form G-28, you may be unable to access your client’s case.

Even if you do not use your USCIS online account, we will continue to process your properly completed and signed Form I-90. You will receive notifications and updates about your application by mail through the U.S. Postal Service. If you need assistance, contact the USCIS Contact Center.

If you move, you must update your address with USCIS. You can do so through your USCIS online account  or by filing Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card (online or by mail).

Please do not submit this checklist with your Form I-90. The checklist is an optional tool to use as you prepare your form, but does not replace statutory, regulatory, and form instruction requirements. We recommend that you review these requirements before completing and submitting your form. Do not send original documents unless specifically requested in the form instructions or applicable regulations.

If you submit any documents (copies or original documents, if requested) in a foreign language, you must include a full English translation along with a certification from the translator verifying that the translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language into English.
