Monday, March 30, 2020 - Due to the temporary closure of Application Support Centers (ASC) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, USCIS will reuse previously submitted biometrics, when processing valid Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, extension requests. This means that applicants with appointments scheduled with an ASC on or after the March 18 closure or who filed an I-765 extension will have their application processed using previously submitted biometrics (effective until ASC resumes normal operations).
Further updates will be provided in unison with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance. Please visit uscis.gov/coronavirus for updates.
