USCIS Green Card 2026 Update: Adjustment of Status Form Collection Extended

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a notice in the Federal Register on September 14, 2026, announcing the extension, without change, of its currently approved information collection for the Application to Adjust Status from Temporary to Permanent Resident. This is a routine administrative action that keeps the existing form and collection process in place without introducing new requirements or modifications. The notice opens a 62-day public comment period, with comments accepted through November 13, 2026. Members of the public, including immigration applicants and legal practitioners, may submit comments through the Federal Register website or Regulations.gov regarding the burden, accuracy, or utility of the information collection. For EB-3 applicants working toward permanent resident status, this notice signals continuity in the adjustment of status process. No changes to the form or filing procedures are being introduced at this time, meaning current guidance and documentation requirements remain in effect. Applicants who are in the process of or planning to apply for adjustment of status from a temporary visa category to lawful permanent residence should continue following existing USCIS instructions. This extension ensures the collection authority remains valid while USCIS completes its standard Paperwork Reduction Act review cycle.
