The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has taken an important step toward digitizing immigration processes. By 2025, several forms can now be completed and submitted entirely online, representing a significant advance for applicants seeking to complete their paperwork without relying on postal mail.
As reported by the agency itself, submitting a digital form offers “a more convenient and secure experience”. Users can fill out documents from mobile devices, save drafts, correct errors and receive automatic confirmations once the application is successfully submitted.

Advantages of digital submission to USCIS
Online filing not only reduces waiting times, but also simplifies the entire process for applicants.
USCIS highlights the following benefits of filing and submitting forms electronically:
Allows the use of computers, tablets or smartphones.
The application can be saved and resumed at any time before sending.
Provides step-by-step instructions to avoid common mistakes, such as missing a signature or leaving empty fields.

In addition, each applicant can review the history of their forms and receive alerts about updates or additional requests from USCIS without waiting for physical correspondence.

To access these benefits, users must have a digital account on the official myUSCIS portal. The registration process is fast and free of charge:

A step towards the modernization of the migration system
With the implementation of digital submission, USCIS seeks to modernize its system and offer a more agile, transparent and accessible service.
This initiative not only reduces the administrative workload, but also improves communication between applicants and the agency.
The goal is that, in the next few years, most immigration forms can be processed completely online, reducing delays and facilitating access to millions of people who manage their immigration processes from different locations in and outside the United States.
