Posted on Oct 25 2011
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services again reminds eligible widow(er)s of U.S. citizens that Oct. 28, 2011, (mainland time) is the deadline for filing a Form I-360 visa petition if your spouse died before Oct. 28, 2009.
USCIS must receive your Form I-360 for Special immigrant classification as a widow/widower by Oct. 28, 2011. Since you must file Form I-360 by mail or overnight courier, be sure to ship it in time for USCIS to receive it no later than Oct. 28, 2011, (mainland time.)
Among other things, you must establish that:
* You were the citizen’s legal spouse.
* You have not remarried.
* You are admissible as an immigrant.
More details on filing as a I-360 Widow(er)—including application requirements, fees and procedures—are available at www.uscis.gov/I-360. For additional information, applicants may also contact USCIS at 1-800-375-5283.
A widow(er) whose citizen spouse died on or after Oct. 28, 2009, will have two years from the date of the U.S. citizen spouse’s death to file their Form I-360. [B][I](USCIS)[/I][/B]
