What this form is for
Request for Electronic Notification (G-1145). Asks USCIS to text or email you when they accept your filing, instead of only posting a receipt notice.
Who needs it
Anyone filing a paper application with USCIS.
When you do not need it
Filing online already gives you an account with the same notifications, so it adds nothing there.
How to fill it in
Open the file in the Quire editor. Existing form fields become editable straight away; on a flat scan you can drop your own text boxes, checkboxes and dates exactly where they belong. Sign it with the Sign tool — draw, type or upload your signature — then export.
Everything happens in your browser. A tax or immigration form carries enough personal information that it has no business sitting on somebody else's server, and here it never does.
What goes wrong
- Clip it to the very front of the package. Buried inside, it is missed.
Where it goes
Submit it to the address or online portal named in the agency’s current instructions. Sending an application to a superseded address is one of the most common causes of delay.
