Storm-Related Closures of USCIS Service Centers in Texas and Nebraska Won’t Affect Timely Filers

The Texas Service Center and Nebraska Service Center experienced closures during the week of January 31, 2011, due to severe snow and ice storms that paralyzed much of the United States. 

As a result, mail deliveries were delayed, possibly affecting customers who were required to submit their immigration filings or respond to a request for additional information by a specific deadline that expired when the Service Center was unexpectedly closed. 

In light of these circumstances, USCIS will make adjustments to acknowledge timely filings.  Customers who made timely filings will not be affected by these closures and need not contact Customer Service.
