List of Downloadable EOIR Forms
The following is a list of frequently requested forms. If a form required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not appear on this list, the best source for obtaining a copy is the USCIS.
EOIR forms may be completed on screen and printed, or downloaded and completed on a typewriter or by hand. You must comply with the specific instructions on the forms. Remember, with the exception of the EOIR-30, at this time, you will not be able to save your form electronically if it is completed on screen.
Format Required for Downloading EOIR Forms
EOIR provides its forms in Portable Document Format (PDF) which allows you to print an exact copy of the form by using any graphics printer (i.e., laser, inkjet, or plotter). To read and print an EOIR form, however, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in your computer. Adobe Systems, Inc., offers this software free of charge to the public.
For some EOIR forms, you can use the computer to fill in the information while the form is on the screen and then print it out. All forms may be printed on plain paper, and the requested information completed by either typing or printing neatly. With the exception of the EOIR-30, you cannot save an electronic version of a form completed on-screen and you cannot submit forms on-line. EOIR has no capability at this time to receive forms electronically (with the exception of the EOIR-30), although we hope to offer an electronic filing service in the future.
