Immigration Help Available to Those Affected by Natural Disasters and Other Unforeseen Circumstances

 USCIS is reminding the public that we offer immigration services that may help people affected by unforeseen circumstances such as natural disasters. Examples of unforeseen circumstances include, but are not limited to, the Marshall fire in Colorado. 

The following measures may be available on a case-by-case basis upon request: 

• Changing a nonimmigrant status or extending a nonimmigrant stay for an individual currently in the United States. Failure to apply for the extension or change before expiration of your authorized period of admission may be excused if the delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control;  

• Re-parole of individuals previously granted parole by USCIS;  

• Expedited processing of advance parole requests;
