USCIS Extends Flexibility for Responding to Agency Requests

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, USCIS is extending the flexibilities it announced on March 30, 2020, to assist applicants, petitioners and requestors who are responding to certain:

• 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; and
• Motions to Reopen an N-400 Pursuant to 8 CFR 335.5, Receipt of Derogatory Information After Grant.

This flexibility applies if the issuance date listed on the request, notice or decision is between March 1, 2020, and Jan. 15, 2022, inclusive.

Moreover, USCIS will consider a Form I-290B: Notice of Appeal or Motion or Form N-336: Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Under Section 336 of the INA), if:

• The form was filed up to 60 calendar days from the issuance of a decision we made; and
• We made that decision anytime from March 1, 2020, through Jan. 15, 2022
