USCIS Offices Preparing to Reopen on June 4

[millefleur 5,046]

Release Date: April 24, 2020

 

On March 18, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services temporarily suspended in-person services at its field offices, asylum offices, and application support centers (ASCs) to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). USCIS is readying offices to reopen on or after June 4. Employees in these offices are continuing to perform mission-essential services that do not require face-to-face contact with the public while the offices are closed.

While offices are temporarily closed, USCIS will continue to provide limited emergency in-person services. Please call the USCIS Contact Center for assistance with emergency services.

 

USCIS field offices will send notices to applicants and petitioners with scheduled appointments and naturalization ceremonies impacted by the extended temporary closure. USCIS asylum offices will send interview cancellation notices and automatically reschedule asylum interviews. When the interview is rescheduled, asylum applicants will receive a new interview notice with the new time, date and location of the interview. When USCIS again resumes operations for in-person services, USCIS will automatically reschedule ASC appointments due to the temporary office closure. Individuals will receive a new appointment letter in the mail. Those who had InfoPass or other appointments must reschedule through the USCIS Contact Center once field offices are open to the public again. Please check to see if the respective office has been reopened before calling the Contact Center.

This is good news if they are looking to reopen then. They could have continued with their suspension for much longer.

Wonderful news! I think having a re-opening date in mind will give a lot of people reassurance. Especially those that are waiting to schedule/re-schedule interviews.

This! I was worried it could go on for months. I am not anywhere near the interview portion of the process, but I am sure it will provide some level of reassurance to those who are waiting to schedule/re-schedule their interviews.

Not sure it's really "great" news. They were planning to reopen early May until just today. Now it's June.

Yes. The consulates have not announced any dates for resuming visa services.

They already planned to open in May, and the news today says on or after June 4th.  on or after could be June 4th to November 4th or even after.  Not good news for anyone.
