What Is the Purpose of Form I-508?
Form I-508 is used by lawful permanent residents of the United States, or applicants for lawful permanent residence in the
United States, whose occupational status or that of their family members, entitles them to nonimmigrant status under the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 101(a)(15)(A), (E), or (G) as a
(a) Government official,
(b) Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office employee,
(c) International organization representative or employee, respectively; or
(d) A dependent member of such household.
In order to retain or obtain lawful permanent residence status, they are required to use Form I-508 to waive diplomatic or
similar rights, privileges, exemptions, and immunities that may be granted to them under any law or Executive Order. The
form also informs such persons that as lawful permanent residents of the U.S., they are or will be ineligible for any and all
such diplomatic rights, privileges, exemptions, and immunities previously held on their behalf by their sending country,
office, or organization.
Note Regarding former USCIS Form I-508F
Form I-508F is no longer required to be submitted by French nationals.
