On March 18, to protect the workforce and to help mitigate the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), the USCIS temporarily suspended all routine face-to-face services with applicants at all of its offices, including all interviews, biometric collections, and naturalization ceremonies. The temporary suspension is extended through May 3, and USCIS offices will begin to re-open on May 4 unless the public closures are extended further.
If you have an emergency service request, please contact the USCIS Contact Center. Employees in these offices are continuing to perform mission-essential services that do not require face-to-face contact with the public.
USCIS field and asylum offices will send notices to applicants and petitioners, as well as naturalization ceremony participants, with scheduled appointments impacted by the temporary public closure. USCIS will also automatically reschedule application support center appointments due to the temporary office closure.
USCIS will provide further updates as the situation develops and will continue to follow CDC guidance in response to this situation. Please visit uscis.gov/coronavirus for updates.
