USCIS Issues Guidance on Selecting Gender on USCIS Forms

USCIS clarified that benefit requestors may select their gender on USCIS forms (or change a prior gender selection) without the need to provide supporting documentation. Guidance effective 3/31/23, comments due by 5/1/23.

Per USCIS:
Benefit requestors seeking to change their gender marker after their initial filing should refer to the Updating or Correcting Your Documents webpage. Currently, the only gender markers available are “Male” (M) or “Female” (F). DHS is working on options to include an additional gender marker (“X”) for another or unspecified gender identity. USCIS will update its forms and the Policy Manual accordingly.
