Update to Filing Location for Form I-360 and Form I-485 for Self-Petitioning Abused Spouses, Children, and Parents

Release Date

UPDATE: 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 by April 12, 2023. We will reject any VAWA-based Form I-360 or Form I-485 filed at the Vermont Service Center that is postmarked after that date.

Starting February 10, 2023, self-petitioning abused spouses, children, and parents must file Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, and Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, at the Nebraska Service Center instead of the Vermont Service Center.
