FILL-IN IMMIGRATION FORMS
AND RELATED US/PHILIPPINES FORMS

indicates pc-fillable (with Adobe Acrobat)

The following links are to the standard U.S. immigration-required forms. They are in Adobe Acrobat format, and can be filled in on your computer. Unless you have the Adobe Write application, however, you cannot save the data for future editing, but must print it out.

In some cases, there may be later versions of these forms available from INS. Unless there are content changes, however, these versions are suitable for submission.

These forms, though prepared from original INS PDF-format documents, must be used at your own risk, and the moderators of MAG-ANAK can take no responsibility for any delays resulting from INS non-acceptance of forms you submit. You are advised to check the dates on the bottoms of these forms against possible later versions. Where applicable, appropriate colors and printing order is described.

In Explorer, you may right click on the form links to save the form templates to your computer for later fill-in. In addition, form instructions and fees are available below.
