USCIS Starts Rejecting Old Form Editions on September 15 and 18, 2026: The Form Version Control Playbook for Immigration Firms

USCIS is issuing revised Forms I-765 and I-539 on September 15, 2026 and a revised Form I-485 on September 18, 2026 aligned with the new public charge final rule — and rejecting prior editions filed on or after those dates. For immigration firms, this is not a forms problem. It is a document version control problem, and the firms that get burned are the ones assembling packets from a shared drive instead of from matter data.
