I-566
Interagency Record of Request - A, G or NATO Dependent Employment Authorization or Change/Adjustment to/from A, G or NATO Status
Form I-566, Interagency Record of Request, A, G or NATO Dependent Employment Authorization or Change/Adjustment to/from A, G or NATO Status, is used as part of the process to request certain immigration benefits for people in A, G or NATO nonimmigrant status and their families.
The instructions say it identifies the requestor and the principal alien, the person from whom the requestor's status is or will be derived, and that it helps the agencies involved decide the request. Those agencies include the U.S. Department of State, NATO/HQ SACT, the U.S. Department of Defense, foreign diplomatic missions and international organizations, and USCIS.
The USCIS page says to complete the form and submit it to your diplomatic mission or international organization along with the request for employment authorization, change of status or adjustment of status. Each person making a request files a separate Form I-566, and the instructions ask for two copies.
Name, U.S. mailing and physical address, birth details, citizenship, sex, marital status, A-Number, Social Security number, Department of State Personal Identification Number (PID), relationship to the principal alien, Form I-94 and passport details, last arrival and current status, such as G-1.
Name, U.S. physical address (not a PO Box), the date the tour of duty in the United States is expected to end, job title, citizenship, marital status, PID and Form I-94 details. A principal alien filing for themselves skips this part.
Employment authorization, with the dependent category and any student or disability status and age, or change or adjustment of status, with one of five options to or from A, G or NATO status.
The requestor's contact information, certification and signature, then the interpreter and preparer sections.
Extra space for longer answers, with page, part and item number boxes for each answer.
Certification by the diplomatic mission, international organization, NATO/HQ SACT or NATO member state, then Department of State, USLO to NATO/HQ SACT or USUN information, then USCIS information. The instructions say requestors do not complete these.
The instructions say each person requesting employment authorization or a change or adjustment of status files a separate Form I-566, and that two copies are submitted. If both copies are not signed, the form is returned as incomplete.
Enter your current status as a code, for example G-1. A principal alien filing on their own behalf leaves Part 2 blank.
Choose Employment Authorization and complete Items 2.a. to 2.d., or Change/Adjustment of Status and complete Items 3.a. and 3.b.
For dependent employment, the instructions list a signed Form I-765 plus an employer statement on letterhead, and a school or physician statement for some categories. A change to A, G or NATO lists Form I-94 and Form I-539. Adjustment to immigrant lists Forms I-94, I-485 and I-508.
The instructions say the agencies and organizations processing the request complete these parts.
A stamped or typewritten name is not accepted. A parent or legal guardian may sign where appropriate. This page lets you fill the form online free, then print it for signature.
You get the real form, filled in a browser tab, with nothing standing between you and the finished PDF.
The USCIS page says to submit the form to your diplomatic mission or international organization with your request, and that where you file depends on the grounds you are filing on. NATO dependents are pointed to the USLO to NATO/HQ SACT, the Defense Attaché's Office of the employing NATO member, or the State Department Office of Foreign Missions.
The instructions say that for A or G dependents, the State Department or USUN forwards the endorsed Form I-566 and I-765 package to USCIS. For a change to A, G or NATO status, the mission or organization forwards it to the State Department Visa Office or USUN, which forwards it to USCIS.
The fee is on the USCIS Fee Schedule page, and the instructions point to Form G-1055. Fees can change, so check it on the day you file.
The instructions say a United States address is needed to file this request.
Send legible photocopies unless an original is requested. A foreign-language document needs a full English translation with the translator's signed certification.
The USCIS page has an optional checklist of required initial evidence by filing situation. It says not to submit the checklist with the form.
