USCIS Offices to Close Jan. 9, 2025, for National Day of Mourning

President Joe Biden has declared Thursday, January 9, 2025, as a National Day of Mourning in memory of former President James Earl Carter Jr., the 39th president of the United States. This declaration is made in honor of his life and legacy, and as part of this proclamation, the President has issued an Executive Order providing for the closure of executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government, including all offices of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

What does this mean for applicants?

If you have appointments scheduled with USCIS for Thursday, January 9, 2025, it is important to take into account the following:

Biometrics appointments, interviews, and naturalization ceremonies scheduled for that day will be automatically rescheduled. USCIS will send new notices with updated dates and times within three weeks.
You also have the option to reschedule your biometrics appointment using the biometrics appointment rescheduling tool in your USCIS online account, as long as you do so before your originally scheduled date.
The USCIS Contact Center live support service will not be available on that day. However, USCIS online tools and resources will continue to work, allowing you to access important information about your cases and processes.

What should you do if you have an appointment scheduled?

It is essential that you keep an eye on your email, as you will receive a new notification with the rescheduling date. If you have questions or need help managing this change, at Inmigración Pro we are here to assist and guide you.

Remember that this closure applies only to January 9, 2025, and USCIS offices will resume normal activities the next day.
