USCIS Operational Status
As of June 4, non-emergency, face-to-face USCIS Field Offices and USCIS Asylum Offices mostly reopened to the public. However, some field offices, such as the Brooklyn and New York City field offices, remain closed for non-emergency public services. All USCIS Application Support Centers are closed until further notice. All USCIS International Field Offices were either permanently closed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or remain temporarily closed due to pandemic conditions. If you do need to visit a USCIS Field Office, please read their rules for visiting posted here. You are required to wear a face mask, and are encouraged to bring your own blue or black ink pen. Please note that USCIS Field Offices may close again after this is posted, so be sure to check the USCIS Office Closings website for confirmation before heading to your local field office.
