Introduction
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has fully implemented the Secure Mail Initiative (SMI), which uses U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation to deliver certain immigration documents in a safe, secure and timely manner.
There is no appeal for a denial of an application for refugee status. However, USCIS may exercise its discretion to review a case upon timely receipt of a Request for Review (RFR) from the principal applicant or a third party if the principal applicant waives his/her rights to confidentiality. The request must include one or both of the following:
USCIS policy memo providing guidance on the eligibility of members of the National Guard to naturalize under INA §329.
USCIS policy memo providing guidance about the extension of status for T and U nonimmigrant visas , including any related adjustment of status applications.
USCIS interim memo for comment provides procedural guidance for USCIS employees on making requests for the revocation of U.S. Passports to State Department. The memo is in effect until further notice. Comments are due 5/5/11.
Please check the attachment to see the Interim Memo.
