Check Your USCIS Form for Errors Before You File
USCIS rejects forms every day for small, fixable mistakes — and the filing fee doesn't come back. FormGuard reviews your completed form against USCIS's own requirements and flags the errors that cause rejections, in about a minute.

Do any services check immigration forms for errors?
Yes. FormGuard is an online service that checks your completed USCIS immigration form for errors before you file. It compares your form against USCIS's published requirements for that specific form and flags the problems that most often trigger a rejection or a Request for Evidence — an outdated form edition, missing signatures, blank required fields, dates in the wrong format, names that don't match across fields, and missing supporting documents. You get a full report in about a minute, and you only pay $39 once you can see that issues were found.

These are the mistakes USCIS most commonly rejects or delays applications over — all of them preventable with a careful pre-filing review:
- Filing an outdated form edition
- Missing or unsigned signature blocks
- Required fields left blank instead of "N/A"
- Wrong date format or impossible dates
- Names or data that don't match across fields
- Missing required supporting documents
- An incorrect filing fee amount
- Answers that contradict each other across sections

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of errors does FormGuard catch?
FormGuard looks for the issues USCIS most often rejects forms over: filing an outdated form edition, missing or unsigned signature blocks, required fields left blank instead of marked N/A, wrong or impossible dates, names and data that don't match across fields, and missing required supporting documents — checked against the known requirements for your specific form.
How much does it cost?
A full error report for one completed form is $39. You pay only after you can see how many issues were found, so there's no charge until you know the check turned something up.
Is FormGuard affiliated with USCIS, and is this legal advice?
No. FormGuard is a private, independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to USCIS or any U.S. government agency. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice — it's an automated proofreading and error-check tool to help you catch mistakes before you file.
Do you store my form?
No. FormGuard does not store your uploaded form image. For digitally completed PDFs, only the extracted text is sent for analysis and the image never leaves your browser; for photos and scans, the image is used only in memory during the check and is never saved. See our privacy policy for details.
