NEW POLICIES FOR IMMIGRANTS DURING COVID-19!
With the Coronavirus pandemic moving swiftly along through the United States, there have been many policy changes during the last few weeks that affect immigrants. Here are a few things you should keep in mind if you are a foreign national in the US:
- If you received a Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice for Intent to Deny (NOID) dated between March 1, 2020 and May 1, 2020 there will be a 60 day extension added to your deadline.
- If you have been recently terminated or laid off from your job and you are on a work visa, you will have a 60 day grace period in order to either find another job or to depart the US.
- If you have had to file for unemployment, you will not be negatively impacted on any future application regarding the public charge rule.
- If you have a pending adjustment of status case, either family-based or employment, there may be a chance that your in-person interview will be waived and your application will be granted by USCIS. USCIS has been granting cases in some instances without having them go through an in-person interview, so be sure to submit any and all documents requested by USCIS.
