USCIS Offices Resume In-Person ServicesU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services invites you to participate in a webinar on the reopening of USCIS domestic offices on Thursday, June 18, from 3 to 4 p.m. Eastern.
On March 18, we temporarily suspended routine in-person services at our field offices, asylum offices, and application support centers (ASCs) to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). USCIS began reopening some domestic offices and resuming non-emergency services on June 4. We are following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines to protect our workforce and the public.
During this webinar, USCIS will provide an overview of reopening procedures for field offices, asylum offices, and ASCs. We will also share guidelines for entering our facilities. We will respond to questions submitted in advance and via chat during the webinar. We will not answer case-specific questions.

If you have any questions about the registration process, or if you have not received a confirmation email within three business days, please email us at [email protected].
We recommend joining 10 to 15 minutes before the webinar begins.

Re: DCF London Processing
Fair enough. So, it may be also be of interest that USCIS is starting the process to lay off three quarters of its workforce. To avoid this will require Congressional appropriation which will require Mr. Trump’s signature. His opposition to all immigration, both legal and unlawful is well known.
Thanks for the heads-up
Stay safe🙂

Re: DCF London Processing
I find it ironic, considering the fact that his wife immigrated on an H1B followed by an EB1 visa, and that both his grandparents are immigrants from Germany. Similarly, our Home Secretary here in the UK has proposed a strict immigration bill that decreases the number of people eligible for immigration. Again, ironic, in view of the fact that both her newsagent parents are first-generation immigrants from Uganda who wouldn't have qualified under these new immigration laws. Without veering too far off topic, we live in strange times indeed.
Another week gone by and no word. Bearing in mind the initial 90 days target, then deducting the 10 or so days before lockdown when we received our email, I marked up my calender showing not to expect any word till Mid July.......please let me be wrong..............
Have a great weekend, everyone.

There is no mention of this to include spouses of US citizens. Didnt the previous EO give dispensation to USC spouses? Maybe its a different thing entirely (can you advise?). In what is an election year, it seems rather shortsighted to include USC spouses in this latest directive. Every USC is a vote.
Hey....it is what it is.

Not that I really vouch for the article, it did say all immigrant categories. IR's are under "all." Also, the definition of "emergency" can be downright weird.

Re: DCF London Processing
The article in the link also said "......it updated a list of exemptions to the hold ....." unless the "update" specifically changes the position regarding the Spouse Visa, is there much to be concerned about at this time? Has anything actually changed?
Is there a link available to the "update"?
Will there be an impact in the issue of Green Cards? The article suggests so. Does a USC Spouse Visa Beneficiary need a Green Card and without which they cannot take employment? Dont know...........

If and when you are issued an immigrant visa and thereafter successfully navigate the admission process you will be an LPR. Practice these days is that the immigrant visa in the passport will be endorsed as one year evidence of LPR status.
Employment is authorized incident to status.
