Updated on March 30, 2020. USCIS has now clarified that the
response date flexibility also applies to certain Notices of Intent
to Revoke (NOIR) and Notices of Intent to Terminate (NOIT) regional
investment centers, as well as certain filing date requirements for
Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion. In summary, the USCIS
announcement applies to an RFE, NOID, NOIR, NOIT or appealable
decision within AAO jurisdiction and the issuance date listed on
the request, notice or decision is between March 1, 2020 and May 1,
2020, inclusive. Unfortunately this guidance still does not address
the issues relating to requests, dated prior to March 1st, but due
now, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Seyfarth will keep you updated
with any further clarifications.
