In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced this week that it is adopting measures to minimize the immigration consequences associated with responding to requests for evidence (RFEs) and notices of intent to deny (NOIDs) dated between March 1 and May 1, 2020. This rule also applies to notice of intent to revoke (NOIR), notice of intent to terminate (NOIT) or appealable decisions within AAO jurisdiction where the issuance date listed on the request, notice or decision is between March 1, 2020 and May 1, 2020.
As a result, applicants and petitioners who receive an RFEs or NOIDs dated between March 1 and May 1, 2020, any responses submitted within 60 calendar days after the response deadline set forth in the RFE or NOID will be considered by USCIS before any action is taken.
