U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated the Policy Manual for new guidance on requests to expedite cases. Expedite requests have been clarified. More information is noted in terms of the circumstances where USCIS would consider requests from various entities. The updates apply to the following:

  • Nonprofit organizations,
  • Federal, state, or local agencies including labor and employment agencies,
  • Emergencies and urgent humanitarian reasons, and
  • Circumstances where delays are not avoidable for some requests.

USCIS releases updates to the policy manual as needed.

ILBSG continues to monitor ongoing updates to the USCIS policy manual, legislation, and legal actions to ensure our clients get the right advice. If you have questions about expedite requests or any other immigration-related issue, contact us at ILBSG.
