USCIS Extends Office Closure to April 7th Due to Corona Virus

On March 18, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services temporarily suspended routine in-person services such as biometric services and interviews to help slow the spread of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). This suspension was initially until April 1, 2020. However, this date has been extended to April 7, 2020.

USCIS plans to reopen their various offices on April 7, unless the closure date is extended. USCIS staff continues to perform duties that do not involve contact with the general public.

However, USCIS will provide emergency services for limited situations.

USCIS will send cancellation notices to applicants and petitioners with scheduled appointments and naturalization ceremonies affected by this extended temporary closure.

When USCIS resumes normal operations, USCIS will reschedule all affected appointments and send out new appointment letters in the mail.

Individuals who had InfoPass or other appointments at the local field office will be required to reschedule such an appointment through the USCIS Contact Center.

USCIS will provide further updates as the situation develops.
