Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

ALERT: The filing location for U nonimmigrant-based Form I-485 is now only at the Nebraska Service Center. We will continue to accept applications for U nonimmigrant-based Form I-485 filed at the Vermont Service Center until April 12, 2023. After that date, we will reject any U nonimmigrant-based Form I-485 filed at the Vermont Service Center.

ALERT: Starting February 10, 2023, VAWA self-petitioning abused spouses, children, and parents must file Form I-485 and Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, at the Nebraska Service Center instead of the Vermont Service Center. To minimize the impact of this change, we have extended the grace period from 30 days to 60 days for petitioners to file Form I-360 and Form I-485 at the Vermont Service Center. The grace period will now run through April 12, 2023. Applications filed at the Vermont Service Center must be postmarked on or before April 12, 2023. We will reject any VAWA-based Form I-360 or Form I-485 sent to the Vermont Service Center that is postmarked after that date.
