In order to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), USCIS has temporarily suspended in-person services at its field offices, asylum offices, and application support centers (ASCs) through May 4, 2020, unless the public closures are extended further.

Employees in these offices will continue to perform services that do not require face-to-face contact, and USCIS will continue to provide limited emergency services. Please call the Contact Center at 800-375-5283 for help with emergency services.

USCIS field offices will send notices to applicants and petitioners who have scheduled appointments and naturalization ceremonies affected by this 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 resumes normal operations, USCIS will automatically reschedule ASC appointments due to the temporary office closure. A new appointment letter will be sent in the mail.

Individuals who had InfoPass or other appointments must reschedule through the USCIS Contact Center when field offices reopen to the public. Please check to see if the office in your jurisdiction has been reopened before reaching out to the USCIS Contact Center.

USCIS will provide further updates as the situation develops and will continue to follow CDC guidance. Please also visit uscis.gov/coronavirus for updates.
