When US Citizenship and Immigration Services approves your immigration petition, you can ask for an electronic notification (e-Notification) by filling out the G-1145 form.

This gives USCIS a substitute for the traditional mail informing you of the progress of your immigration request. In addition, this practical choice offers applicants quicker, simpler updates directly to a computer or mobile device.

The USCIS will also send original documents for formal paperwork. Remember that even if you choose to get these updates electronically, you will still need to supply a physical mailing address.

Obtaining a copy of the G-1145 form from the USCIS website will allow you to start filling it out.

The application form will have a page explaining its purpose, details on how applicants will be contacted, a Privacy Act Statement, and a part where you, the applicant, can enter your contact information so that they can get in touch with you.

These particulars are as follows:

Benefits of Using Form G-1145

Convenience is this form’s key advantage. You may have to wait a while before learning about any updates after applying to USCIS, and you might not be present when you get physical mail. To ensure you don’t miss any important updates, offering additional contact info allows you to receive information via email or text message.

Additionally, Form G-1145 is very helpful for those who travel frequently and spend a lot of time away from home.
