Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that flexibilities granted during the Covid-19 pandemic have ended. This means that any USCIS notices or requests dated after March 23, 2023, must be responded to by the deadline listed in the notice or request. This applies to the following:
- Requests for Evidence
- Continuations to Request Evidence (N-14)
- Notices of Intent to Deny
- Notices of Intent to Revoke
- Notices of Intent to Rescind
- Notices of Intent to Terminate regional centers
- Notices of Intent to Withdraw Temporary Protected Status
- Motions to Reopen an N-400 Pursuant to 8 CFR 335.5, Receipt of Derogatory Information After Grant.
- Form I-290B (Notice of Appeal or Motion)
- Form N-336 (Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Under Section 336 of the INA)).
USCIS still holds discretionary power to make decisions about applicants and petitioners who are affected by unforeseen circumstance, including but not limited to, emergencies, natural disasters, national emergencies, or serious illnesses. If you have any questions about how this change may effect you, feel free to schedule a consultation to discuss your options with one of out attorneys here.
