G-884, Request for the Return of Original Documents

Instructions

Please read the instructions carefully. If you do not follow the instructions, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may have to return your petition, which may delay final action. If you need more space to complete the answer, use a separate sheet(s) of paper. Write your name and Alien Registration Number (A#), if you have one, at the top of each sheet and indicate the number of the item relating to your answer.

Use Form G-884 to request the return of original documents submitted to establish eligibility for an immigration or citizenship benefit.

You need to give us:

A completed and signed Form G-884; and

Supporting documentation.

To file this request, see Step 2 for specific instructions.

When Should I Use Form G-884?

You should use Form G-884 if you submitted original documents to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) with a petition, application or request and you are now seeking to have those documents returned to you.

Furnishing the information requested on the form and submitting the required supporting documents will assist USCIS to locate and return the documents requested.

How Do I File Form G-884?

You only need to submit one Form G-884 if you are requesting multiple documents contained in a single USCIS file. However, if the requested documentation is in more than one USCIS file, you must submit separate requests. (Example: If you wish to obtain your mother's birth certificate and your parent's marriage certificate, both of which are in the USCIS file that pertains to her, submit one Form G-884 with your mother's information.)

Follow the steps below to complete your request:

Step 1 - Fill out the Form G-884.

Step 2 - Submit your G-884.

Notice

USCIS wants to make sure that you are eligible to receive the requested documents. To do this we may ask for more evidence, interview you and/or conduct an inquiry. If you misrepresent facts or otherwise engage in fraud, USCIS will take appropriate action. This means we will not only deny your request, you may lose current and future immigration benefits. You may also face penalties, including criminal and/or civil prosecutions leading to fines and/or imprisonment.

Step 1. Fill Out the Form G-884.

Use black ink. Type or print clearly using capital letters. If an item does not apply to you, write "N/A." If the answer is none, write "NONE."

This form is divided into Parts 1 through 3. The following information should help you fill out the form.

Part 1. Information about you.

(Person requesting original documents.)

Family Name (Last name) - Give your legal name. If you have two last names, include both and use a hypen (-) between the names, if appropriate.

Mailing Address - Give your mailing address, if different from your home address.

Telephone Number - Give a telephone number with the area code where you can be reached during the day.

A Number - This is your Alien Registration Number (A #). If you do not have an A#, or do not know it, leave this blank.

Information, Documents or Records Requested -

Name or describe the original documents you wish returned. Be as specific as possible. (Example: marriage certificate of John Q. and Mary A. Public.)

Part 2. Data for Identification of Personal Record.

Failure to provide the following information may make it very difficult for USCIS to locate the relating record.

Family Name (Last name) - Give the subject's legal name. If there are two last names, include both and use a hyphen (-) between the names, if appropriate.

A Number - This is the subject's Alien Registration Number (A Number). If the subject does not have an A # or you do not know it, leave this blank.

Other Names Used - Include the subject's maiden name, nickname or alias.

Date of Birth - Use eight numbers to show the date of birth. (Example: May 1, 1979, should be written 05/01/1979.)

Form G-884 Instructions (Rev 01/23/06)Y

Country of Birth - Give the name of the country where the subject was born. Include the city, state or province, and country.

Entry Into the United States - Give the requested information about the subject's naturalization, if applicable.

U.S. Citizenship Information - Use eight numbers to show the date of birth. (Example: May 1, 1979, should be written 05/01/1979.)

Part 3. Signature.

You, the requestor, must sign and date the form. If you do not sign the form, the request will be returned as incomplete.

Step 2. Submit Your Form G-884.

You must include the following items:

Your signed and completed Form G-884.

Filing fee. There is no filing fee for a Form G-884.

Evidence. Attach copies, showing the front and back of the documents you need to support your request. The copies must be exact photocopies of unaltered original documents. Original documents may be requested by USCIS at a later date.

Before consideration can be given to your request, two forms of identification must be submitted. Examples of acceptable forms of identification are:

I-551, Permanent Resident Card;

Driver's license;

State-issued identification document;

Employment work authorization document;

Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship;

U. S. or foreign passport.

If you are requesting an original document(s) from a USCIS file other than relating to you, submit proof of the relationship between you and the subject. In cases where the subject is either deceased or incapacitated, you must provide evidence of a power of attorney or that you are the executor of the subject's estate.

Translation. If you send us a document in a foreign language, it must have a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and correct. The translator must also certify that he or she is competent to translate the foreign language into English.

Submit Your Form G-884. If your case is pending, submit your Form G-884 to the USCIS district or suboffice or service center that is currently processing your case. If a final decision has been issued, submit the Form G-884 to the USCIS office or service center that took the last action on your case.

Processing Information.

Our goal at USCIS is to process all requests fairly. The processing time will vary, depending on the specific circumstances of each case. We may reject an incomplete request. We may deny your request if you do not give us the required information or do not go to a scheduled interview.

Address Changes.

If you change your address, you must fill out and give us a Form AR-11, Alien 's Change of Address Card, and mail it to the address listed on Form AR-11.
