USCIS announced that starting July 24, 2026, any immigration petition with a wrong signature will be rejected or denied without a correction window. This policy change means that applicants will lose their filing fees and must re-file their petitions from scratch, risking their priority dates or H-1B cap slots.
Key Details:
- Effective date: July 24, 2026
- Applies to: All immigration petitions, including EB-1, EB-2 NIW, O-1, L-1, H-1B, I-130, I-485, and asylum cases
- No correction window: Incorrect signatures will lead to outright rejection
- Filing fees: Applicants will not receive refunds for rejected petitions
This new policy will significantly impact immigrants who may inadvertently submit petitions with incorrect signatures, leading to delays and additional costs. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
