U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said in a statement Friday that it will maintain operations at seven of its international offices. The agency had previously indicated it would close all of them by next year.
Key points:
BAL Analysis: While USCIS will maintain seven of its international offices, the agency has already started to wind down its services abroad. Applicants should expect services to be limited. U.S. Consulates and USCIS offices within the U.S. will share the workload for USCIS offices abroad that shut their doors. Those outside of the United States who are in need of USCIS services are encouraged to work closely with BAL in the coming months to determine their best filing options.
