FAQs

Can I go to USCIS application support center without appointment? ›

Before visiting a USCIS office, you must have an appointment.

Dial 800-375-5283 (TTY 800-767-1833, VRS 877-709-5797) and ask your question in English or Spanish. The system will answer your question and can send you links to forms and information by email or text.

The 800-375-5283 number is listed as the primary phone contact for USCIS and is listed under the “Live Assistance” section of the Contact Us page of the USCIS website.

Field Offices handle scheduled interviews on other applications. They also provide limited information and services that supplement those we provide through our website and by phone. Application Support Centers provide biometrics collection and related services.

Early walk-in appointments are available at some Application Support Centers (ASCs). To find out if you can do an early walk-in for your biometrics appointment, you must call your local ASC or U.S. consulate to determine if they allow that.

If you have appointments at more than one office (for example, a field office and an application support center) please check both sections to ensure the offices are open. We are not accepting walk-in visits at this time. You must have a scheduled appointment before arriving at a USCIS office.

If you do not receive a decision on your motion within that time, you may contact the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283 and ask for a “service request.” Q.

USCIS categorizes requests based on urgency and type of request and then processes the requests within each category based on the order the request was received. USCIS aims to respond to Service Requests within 15 days but it is not unusual for it to take longer to receive a response.

Most service centers have average USCIS processing times ranging from around six to 13 months. One of the fastest is the Nebraska Service Center (LIN or NSC), which has an average processing time of six months.

Application Support Centers (ASCs) provide a platform for collecting biometric data after an applicant submits the relevant forms. The ASCs do not accept direct application filings. Visa applicants can submit their biometrics for immigration benefits after booking an appointment.
