On February 4, 2011, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that many of its offices are closed due to severe snow and ice storms.  The USCIS service centers such as the Texas and Nebraska Service Centers are closed during the week of January 31, 2011.  Many USCIS field offices are also closed.   For the latest update on USCIS office closings, the public may contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Cases, especially those that must meet deadline, will not be affected.  This is because the USCIS will make adjustment and acknowledge timely filings for immigration filings and responses to request for further evidence that must meet their respective deadline.
