USCIS is closely watching the effects of the Ebola outbreak in West African and is offering relief measures to people who are nationals of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone and are currently in the United States. If requested, these relief measures include:

Changing or extending nonimmigrant status for individuals currently in the United States, even if such a request is filed after the period of admission has expired
Extension of certain grants of parole
Expedited adjudication and approval of requests for off-campus employment for F-1 students facing economic hardships
Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, when those relatives are in the United States
Expedited adjudication of employment authorization applications
Potential waivers of fees for USCIS benefit applications
