COVID-19 Updates: USCIS Expands Flexibility In Certain Response Submissions

In continuation of its earlier announcement that for applicants and petitioners who receive Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs) dated between March 1 and May 1, 2020, it will consider any responses submitted within 60 calendar days after the response deadline mentioned in the RFE or NOID before taking any action, USCIS has announced that this flexibility also applies to certain Notices of Intent to Revoke (NOIR) and Notices of Intent to Terminate (NOIT) regional investment centers, as well as certain filing date requirements for Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion.

Accordingly, in respect of any RFE, NOID, NOIR, or NOIT, that was issued between March 1, 2020 and May 1, 2020, response to such RFEs, NOIDs, NOIRs, or NOITs received within 60 calendar days after the response due date mentioned in the request or notice will be considered by USCIS before any action is taken. Similarly, in respect of an appealable decision within AAO jurisdiction that was issued between March 1, 2020 and May 1, 2020, any Form I-290B received up to 60 calendar days from the date of the decision will be considered by USCIS before it takes any action.
