USCIS to allow rescheduling of biometric services appointments by phone.

Posted on June 30, 2021 by sethlerner1964

USCIS announced that applicants, petitioners, requestors and beneficiaries may now call the USCIS Contact Center to reschedule their biometric services appointments. Previously, applicants had to submit requests in writing to reschedule their biometrics appointments. The change helps eliminate undue paperwork and allows the agency to track the request through a more efficient process. Applicants must establish good cause for rescheduling and must call before the date and time of their original appointment to reschedule. If an applicant fails to call before the scheduled appointment or fails to establish good cause, USCIS may consider the application, petition, or request abandoned and, as a result, it may be denied.

USCIS temporarily suspends biometrics requirements for certain Form I-539 applicants.

Posted on June 30, 2021 by sethlerner1964

USCIS will temporarily suspend the biometrics submission requirement for certain applicants filing Form I-539, requesting an extension of stay in or change of status to H-4, L-2, and E nonimmigrant status. USCIS will allow adjudications for those specific categories to proceed based on biographic information and related background checks, without capturing fingerprints and a photograph. This suspension will apply through May 17, 2023, subject to affirmative extension or revocation of the suspension period by the USCIS director. However, USCIS retains discretion on a case-by-case basis to require biometrics for applicants who meet certain criteria, and any applicant may be scheduled for an application support center appointment to submit biometrics.
