USCIS Updates Filing Procedures for Form I-140

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced a Federal Register notice (FRN) providing updated procedures for submitting a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, accompanied by a permanent labor certification, application for Schedule A designation, or national interest waiver (NIW) request.

What this means

  • This updates material the agency had already published. It changes existing guidance rather than creating a new requirement on its own. (classification: updated_information)
  • The document names EB-2 second preference. It may identify others — read the original to be sure. (impact.stated (unspecified))

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

Who is affected

Visa categoriesEB-2 second preference

Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

  • A USCIS announcement describes the agency's own action. Legal effect, and the detail of how it applies, usually arrives separately in the Federal Register or the USCIS Policy Manual.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Aug 2, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
