This form change is approved to take effect on October 2, 2020. USCIS will display both the current version and the new Fee Rule version of the form for a period of time up to the effective date of the new form, which is concurrent with the effective date of the associated rulemaking (October 2, 2020). USCIS will clearly identify filing dates for each form version and provide instructions on when and how to correctly file both versions. Upon the effective date of the new version of the form, USCIS will remove the old version of the form from its website. Approved for two years only due to partial GPEA compliance.
