USCIS Immigration Services for Those Affected by Hurricane Harvey

On August 30, 2017, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announces that it is offering services to help people affected by unforeseen circumstances/disasters such as Hurricane Harvey. Services are discretionary, upon request and with an explanation on how Hurricane Harvey is causing a need for such services. The services that may be available are:

* Changing a nonimmigrant status or extending a nonimmigrant stay for an individual currently in the United States. Non-timely extension or change of status may be excused if the delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond the applicant’s control;

* Re-paroling individuals previously on parole by USCIS;

* Expedited processing of advance parole;

* Expedited adjudication of requests for off-campus employment authorization based on severe economic hardship for F-1 students;

* Expedited adjudication of employment authorization applications, where applicable;

* Consideration of fee waivers due to an inability to pay;

* Assisting those with a Request for Evidence or a Notice of Intent to Deny but were unable to submit evidence or respond timely;

* Assisting those who are unable to appear for a USCIS scheduled interview;
