Rescheduling USCIS Appointments Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

USCIS has recently updated their website with the following notice:

“Rescheduling USCIS Appointments Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you become ill for any reason, regardless of whether you were exposed to COVID-19, please do not come to appointments with any USCIS office. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice to reschedule your appointment or interview if you:

  • Were in any country designated as a "level 3" by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within 14 days of your appointment;

  • Believe that you may have been exposed to COVID-19 (even if you were not recently in any level 3 country); or

  • Are experiencing flu-like symptoms (such as a runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat or fever).

Visit CoronaVirus.gov for a complete list of CDC travel health notices. Learn about the Department of Homeland Security’s response to the coronavirus on their Coronavirus (COVID-19) page.

We will help you reschedule your appointment without penalty when you are healthy. See this page for more information: If You Feel Sick, Please Consider Canceling and Rescheduling Your USCIS Appointment.”

Note from Russell Immigration Law Firm:

As a precaution and for the safety of everyone, if you have an appointment or consultation with our office and fall under the categories listed above, feel free to request a telephone or video-conference (Skype, Whatsapp, etc) appointment. We will do our best to accommodate your needs and ensure the safety of your family, our employees, and the community at large.
