Copies. You should submit legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the Instructions specifically state that you

must submit an original document. USCIS may request an original document at the time of filing or at any time during

processing of an application, petition, or request. If USCIS requests an original document from you, it will be returned to

you after USCIS determines it no longer needs your original.

NOTE: If you submit original documents when not required or requested by USCIS, your original documents may be

immediately destroyed upon receipt.

Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English

translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that

he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must include the translator’s

signature. DHS recommends the certification contain the translator’s printed name and the date and the translator’s

contact information.

Number by logging in to your account and going to the profile page. If you previously filed certain applications, petitions,

or requests on a paper form via a USCIS Lockbox facility, you may have received a USCIS Online Account Access Notice

issuing you a USCIS Online Account Number. If you received such a notice, your USCIS Online Account Number can be

found at the top of the notice. If you were issued a USCIS Online Account Number, enter it in the space provided. The
