On April 24, 2020, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) announced that it intends to reopen field offices, asylum
offices, and application support centers (ASCs) beginning on or
after June 4, 2020. USCIS temporarily closed these offices to the
public on
March 18, 2020, to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
Key Details
- The announcement extends the office closures by an additional
month. USCIS had previously closed the offices through
May 3, 2020.
- The date of reopening appears to be tentative. The announcement
states that USCIS is "readying offices to reopen on or after
June 4."
- Once the offices reopen, USCIS will "automatically
reschedule ASC appointments" canceled during the closure.
Similarly, it is expected that USCIS will begin sending ASC
appointment notices to foreign nationals whose
applications/petitions were filed during the closure. No action by
the foreign national is required at this time.
