What Form I-407 is for

Used by lawful permanent residents who wish to formally abandon their permanent resident status.

Record of Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status (I-407) is generally filed by applicants seeking, adjusting, or replacing lawful permanent resident status. Whether this form fits your situation depends on your specific facts, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official USCIS page before you file.

What Asal can help prepare

We help complete the record and organize Green Card surrender documentation for your situation.

  • Prepare the form from the information you provide
  • Organize supporting documents
  • Coordinate certified translations when needed
  • Give you a clear filing checklist

What Asal cannot legally advise on

  • We do not provide legal advice or case strategy.
  • We do not represent you before USCIS.
  • We do not decide whether you qualify for a benefit.

If your case involves complex legal issues, consult a licensed immigration attorney.

Fees and official sources

USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-407 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.

Processing times for I-407 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.

USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.
