The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on April 1, 2024 that it is changing the filing location for some types of forms. Warren Janssen, our partner and Internal Immigration Specialist, Retired Director of USCIS explains if and how this may impact your process. Read and understand.   

Immigration Update: USCIS announces change in April

USCIS has just announced a change. The reason for this comes from a history that shows that the United States and other countries have experienced an unprecedented increase in unauthorized migration across the US/Mexico/Canada border in recent years. While unauthorized migration across our borders is nothing new, the large numbers are significantly impacting our immigration system and the processing of regular and authorized nonimmigrant and immigrant visa applicants and their families.

The most notable impacts are delays in processing almost all types of visa and citizenship applications. And as you probably know, the United States will have its 4-year presidential election in 2024, which will certainly impact our immigration system.

While it is very difficult to predict who the next president will be, I do not believe that a Biden or Trump administration will negatively affect legal immigration. I anticipate that processing delays will be reduced with either administration through more staff and resources from the DHS (US Department of Homeland Security) and USCIS, or by reducing the need to devote resources to unauthorized irregular immigration.

The point is, don't worry, I'm sure your case will continue to be processed normally and faster!

USCIS Mailing Address Change for Certain Employment-Based Applications and Petitions

O United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on April 1, 2024 that it is changing the filing location of Form I-907, Application for Premium Processing Service; Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Foreign Worker; and Form I-485, Application for Registration of Permanent Residence or Adjustment of Status, and for Forms I-131, Application for Travel Document; I-765, Application for Employment Authorization; and I-824, Request for Action on an Approved Request or Petition, filed with the application package, from USCIS service centers to an agency safe.

As the former Deputy Director of the Nebraska Service Center, we frequently changed addresses to file various immigration forms and applications. The changes were made to reflect workloads and processing goals to better align with future immigration resources and needs.

These changes generally do not affect the normal processing of your case and USCIS will normally notify you of the change for your attention. If you are a D4U client, you will not need to worry about changes to any new USCIS location where your case is processed and adjudicated. D4U will ensure your case is on track for approval. Sit back and relax, the D4U is working for you!
