USCIS In-Person Services Suspended. USCIS has suspended routine in-person services until at least April 1, 2020 to help slow the spread of COVID-19. USCIS continues to operate in functions that do not involve contact with the public.
Premium Processing for I-129 and I-140 Suspended. USCIS has suspended premium processing services for all I-129 and I-140 petitions effective March 20, 2020. This suspension is expected to stay in effect as long as COVID-19 is active. USCIS will make announcement when it reinstates premium processing.
USCIS Increases Flexibility in Submitting Signatures. For submissions dated March 21, 2020, and beyond, USCIS allows reproduced original signatures for submissions. Forms that require original “wet” signatures now are acceptable if they are scanned/photocopied/faxed copies of the original documents with handwritten signatures. This is a temporary change only applies to signatures.
