USCIS Temporary Office Closure Extended through June 3

On March 18, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services temporarily suspended routine in-person services to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). USCIS plans to begin reopening our offices on or after June 4, unless the public closures are extended further. USCIS staff are continuing to perform duties that do not involve face-to-face contact with the public. However, USCIS will provide emergency services for limited situations. To schedule an emergency appointment, contact the USCIS Contact Center.

During this time, individuals may still submit applications and petitions to USCIS. Online filing remains the most convenient and interactive way to submit forms, check the status of your case, and receive notices.

USCIS will provide further updates as the situation develops and will continue to follow CDC guidance. Please visit the USCIS Response to COVID-19 webpage for more information.

Also, the following field support offices are now closed. Please contact the nearest field office for assistance.

Please also visit uscis.gov/military for information and links to resources geared specifically for members of the military and their families.

Beginning on Monday, March 16, 2020, USCIS asylum offices will not be open for walk-in assistance or for non-interview inquiry appointments until further notice. Asylum offices will only be open to individuals appearing for previously scheduled interview appointments. Please contact the asylum offices by email, mail, or phone. Contact information for each asylum office is found using the Asylum Office Locator. If you have an asylum application pending with us, you can check your case status online. You will need the receipt number that we mailed you after you filed your application. Start here: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do.

The following charts provide guidance on rescheduling when your field office, application support center (ASC) or other office has schedule changes. You should also check for more specific information about your office’s or ASC’s rescheduling policy by searching for your specific field office.
If inclement weather hinders your ability to appear at a USCIS office for an interview or appointment when that office is open, we may consider rescheduling your interview or appointment if you can show that your failure to appear was weather-related.

Appointments at the Honolulu ASC

For biometric appointments scheduled at the Honolulu ASC, you may appear for your appointment on your scheduled date or as a walk-in before your scheduled date. Please note that if you come as a walk-in, you may experience long wait times or the ASC may not be able to process you due to high case volumes, in which case you will have to return on another date and time.  If you cannot appear for your appointment by the scheduled date, follow the instructions on the appointment notice to reschedule your appointment.
