USCIS Moves Toward Mandatory Online Filing
10 Aug 2026A new DHS rule, scheduled for publication Aug. 11, would allow USCIS to mandate e-filing for forms available online for at least 180 days. USCIS must provide 60 days’ notice, and hardship waivers would be available. Online filing could mean either completing the form through USCIS’s guided online system or uploading a completed PDF through a USCIS online account. More info.
