USCIS Announces Further Additional Times To Submit Responses

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is extending certain COVID-19-related

flexibilities through March 23, 2023. Under these flexibilities, USCIS considers a response

received within 60 calendar days after the due date set forth in the following requests or

notices before taking any action, if the request or notice was issued between March 1, 2020,

and March 23, 2023, inclusive:

- 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; and

- Motions to Reopen an N-400 Pursuant to 8 CFR 335.5, Receipt of Derogatory

Information After Grant.

In addition, USCIS will consider a Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, or a Form

N-336, Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Under Section

336 of the INA), if:

- The form was filed up to 90 calendar days from the issuance of a decision we made;

and

- We made that decision between Nov. 1, 2021, and March 23, 2023, inclusive.

USCIS anticipates that, barring changes presented by the pandemic, this will be the

final extension of these accommodations, and requesters must comply with the response

requirements set forth in any request or notice dated after March 23, 2023.

As a reminder, the reproduced signature flexibility announced in March 2020 became a

permanent policy on July 25, 2022.
