What to check before you file
- The edition. Agencies replace their forms with new editions. This page describes the 05/31/24 edition; check that your copy is still the current one on uscis.gov/i-290b.
- In Part 2, select either an appeal or a motion, not both, and list only one form number and one receipt number: if both an appeal and a motion are selected, USCIS may dismiss or reject the filing.
- Names and numbers character by character; signatures, fees and supporting documents stay with you.
