USCIS will release a revised Form G-325A on January 6, 2025, with the edition date 10/24/24. Starting February 5, 2025, only this edition will be accepted. Updates include options to request employment authorization and a Social Security number directly on the form. Noncitizens must pay the Form I-765 fee or request a fee waiver, with no refunds for denied deferred action requests. The form now includes space to explain requests, removing the need for a separate written statement.
