  • You must use the new version of the form with an edition date of July 23, 2020.
  • You must file your form and fee according to the website instructions.
  • The mailing address may be changing, so check the website to make sure that you are sending it to the correct address.
  • Additional changes to the Form I-924A, clarify:
  1. That regional center principals must provide all other names the principal owner or non-owner has ever used, including aliases, maiden name, and nicknames.
  2. Regional centers must report the aggregate fees or other remittances that have been paid to the regional center or any of its principals, managing companies or agencies, or agents. (This includes fees, profits, surcharges, and other remittances).
  • As noted in the Form I-924 instructions, USCIS may require that you appear for an interview or provide biometrics (fingerprints, photograph, and/or signature) at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional information, and conduct background and security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the FBI, before making a decision on your form.
  • There are steps you can take to reduce the chances of receiving Requests for Clarification/Requests for Evidence from USCIS regarding Form I-924A.
  • Ensure the information in the form is accurate and that you complete the form entirely. If you do not complete the form according to the instructions, or if it contains incomplete or inaccurate data, we may issue a Notice of Intent to Terminate for failure to provide required information. If there are inconsistencies between what is provided on the Form I-924A and what was previously provided to USCIS, take time to explain why something is different.
