    USCIS offers immigration services that may help people affected by unforeseen circumstances, including the Super Typhoon Yutu in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).

    The following services may be available on a discretionary basis, only upon request. These services may include changing a nonimmigrant status or extending a nonimmigrant stay for an individual currently in the United States; expedited processing of advance parole requests; expedited adjudication of requests for off-campus employment authorization for F-1 students experiencing severe economic hardship; expedited adjudication of employment authorization applications, where appropriate; and rescheduling interviews or biometrics appointments with USCIS. Please visit the Special Situations web page for additional information on services that may be available.

    When making a request, please explain how Super Typhoon Yutu in the CNMI relates to the need for the requested relief.

    To learn how to request these measures or see if an office is open, visit our USCIS Office Closings web page. If the super typhoon affected your InfoPass appointment, you can reschedule your appointment online. If you need additional help, visit the USCIS Contact Center web page for more information.

    All Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, requirements remain in place. If the super typhoon affected you and your documents were lost, stolen, or damaged, review the list of Form I-9 acceptable documents and receipts for more information on how to complete the Form I-9. You may also visit I-9 Central for more information.
