US Citizenship and Immigration Services will mandate the use of updated versions of Form I-765 and Form I-539 starting September 15, 2026.
Applicants must use the new editions dated September 15, 2026, as older versions will be rejected without a grace period for submissions postmarked on or after that date.
These forms are critical for H-1B visa holders' families seeking status extensions via Form I-539 and for individuals applying for work permits through Form I-765.
