USCIS Temporarily Suspends Biometrics Requirement for Certain Form I-539 Applicants

USCIS announced that, effective Monday, May 17, 2021, it will temporarily suspend the biometrics submission requirement for certain applicants filing Form I-539 to request an extension of stay in, or change of status to, H-4, L-2, and E nonimmigrant status. The suspension will apply through May 17, 2023. Do you have ideas about other changes USCIS could make to help improve access to immigration benefits? Use our template to easily submit your proposals in response to USCIS’s request for input on how the agency can reduce administrative and other barriers and burdens within its regulations and policies. Comments are due by May 19.
