USCIS Allows More Time to Respond to Certain Requests and Notices

On July 25, 2022, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the agency will allow 60 more days to respond to certain requests or notices issued between March 1, 2020 and October 23, 2022. This extension applies to:

  • Requests for Evidence
  • Continuations to Request Evidence (N-14)
  • Notices of Intent to Deny
  • Notices of Intent to Revoke
  • Notices of Intent to Rescind
  • Notices of Intent to Terminate regional centers
  • Notices of Intent to Withdraw Temporary Protected Status
  • Motions to Reopen an N-400 Pursuant to 8 CFR 335.5, Receipt of Derogatory Information After Grant

In other words, USCIS will consider responses submitted up to 60 days after the due date stated in these notices before taking any action.

This extension also applies to appeals filed through the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, or Form N-336, Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Under Section 336 of the INA). For decisions made between November 1, 2021 and October 23, 2022, USCIS will consider appeals up to 90 days after a decision was made.
