Form Expiration Dates Do NOT Matter. Pay Attention to the EDITION Dates.

[KayDeeCee 4,891]

People ask about form expiration dates all the time. The expiration date at the top of a form does not mean that form can no longer be used.

The OMB(Office of Management and Budget) expiration date only matters internally for the USCIS. That expiration date has nothing to do with whether or not it will be acceptable for you to use. The edition date is what matters. The accepted edition dates for the forms are listed on the site where the forms can be found and downloaded. If you click on 'Edition Date', the information about that particular form's edition date, and what forms are accepted are listed there.

Read more about it here > § 0.408 OMB control numbers and expiration dates assigned pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

A list of updated forms can be found on the USCIS website > https://www.uscis.gov/forms-updates
