You should attach a copy of your resume as well as your school transcripts (unofficial or official is fine). Your transcripts verify your enrollment as a student. Please take the time to black out any personal information you do not want showing on your documents, including your social security number, etc.
USCIS managers will have 30 days to consider your submission. All emails are deleted 30 days after they are received. If you have not received any contact within 30 days of submitting your information, you will need to resend your email if you still want to be considered. If you are contacted for a volunteer opportunity, your hiring manager will guide you through the next steps that need to be taken.
Availability of non-paid internships is dependent on the need of each individual location; there is no guarantee every location will have a need for volunteers. USCIS has offices in the locations listed below. Please place all the cities where you are willing to volunteer in the subject line of your email exactly as they are written below.
