I-130 Feedback

Dear Stakeholder –

 

USCIS has posted the following interim memorandum for your review:

 

• Process for Responding to Requests by the Department of State (DOS) to Accept a Locally Filed Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative; Utilization of Reserved Section of the Adjudicator’s Field Manual (AFM) – Chapter 21.12; AFM Update AD11-38 (Final date to comment is August 24, 2011)

USCIS actively listens to the questions and concerns of our stakeholders. During the public engagement that was held on August 10, 2011 many stakeholders sought more information on the locations of USCIS international field offices. The listing of these offices can be found here. Stakeholders also questioned what constitutes an emergency situation where an I-130 can still be filed with the Department of State. Examples of emergency situations can be found here.

 

For complete information on the comment process, visit the Interim Memoranda for Comment section of www.uscis.gov.  Please send all comments on the draft memorandum to opefeedback@uscis.dhs.gov.
