In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on March 25, 2020, extended suspension of routine in-person services until at least April 7, 2020. USCIS had previously announced it would temporarily close its domestic field offices and asylum offices to the public from March 18 until April 1.
Please read our previous alert for more details regarding USCIS office closures and check often for USCIS updates.
