Can I submit my I-140 by email?

No. The I-140 cannot be submitted by email. Immigrant worker petitions, including EB-2 NIW cases, must go through the official channels established by USCIS, and email is not one of them.

Depending on the case, recognized submission methods typically involve physical mail or dedicated electronic systems made available by the agency. Sending the form through an unofficial channel may simply not be accepted, cause delays, and expose your documents in an insecure way.

• Email is not a valid channel for the I-140.
• Use only the methods recognized by USCIS.
• The correct method depends on the type of filing.

Since filing procedures can change, the safest approach is to confirm the current submission method directly with the official USCIS source before sending your petition, or work with a specialist to make sure you use the right channel.
