USCIS extends COVID-19 related flexibilities and permanently allows for electronic signatures

On July 25, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it is extending the flexibilities for responding to requests, notices, and decisions issued in connection with certain immigration benefits and programs. The items to which flexibility will be given include, but are not limited to, requests for evidence, notices of intent to deny, notices of intent to revoke and notices of intent to rescind. This flexibility will apply if the issuance date listed on USCIS’s request, notice, or decision is between March 1, 2020 and October 23, 2022, inclusive.
