In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has adopted a measure to help applicants and petitioners who are responding to requests for evidence (RFEs) and notices of intent to deny (NOIDs) dated between March 1 and May 1, 2020.
For applicants and petitioners who receive an RFE or NOID dated between March 1 and May 1, 2020, any responses sent within 60 calendar days after the response deadline listed in the RFE or NOID will be considered by USCIS before any action is taken.
USCIS will provide further updates as the situation develops and will continue to follow CDC guidance. Please visit uscis.gov/coronavirus for latest facts and other USCIS updates.
