What the form asks

  1. Who you are

    Identity, addresses, and immigration history — consistent with the underlying case.

  2. The category

    The eligibility code — a pending green card, asylum, TPS, DACA, and others each have their own. The code decides everything.

  3. The basis evidence

    The receipt or approval notice of the case your eligibility rides on.
