We know that navigating government forms and rules can be really stressful, especially when you are working toward your long-term goals in the U.S. USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) has announced new guidelines regarding signatures for certain applications.

What Changed

Effective July 10th, USCIS is implementing new rules about how applicants must sign their forms when applying for H-1B nonimmigrant visas or Green Cards. These changes relate to the physical signing process on your official paperwork. It is important that you pay close attention to these new requirements when submitting documents.

Who Is Affected

This announcement directly affects you if you are currently applying for or preparing to apply for an H-1B visa or a Green Card. These rules apply to the signatures you provide on your submitted documents.

What You Should Do

Because these are procedural changes, we strongly encourage you to read the full details on the USCIS website or consult with an immigration attorney. Do not wait until the last minute to review these rules. If you are gathering documents for an H-1B extension or Green Card processing, take extra care with signing every required form, as errors could delay your case.
