At World One Law Group, we understand that navigating the US immigration processes can be complex and frustrating. Sometimes, you need a decision faster than the USCIS offers in its normal processing times. That's why we're excited to inform you about the latest updates from USCIS, which provides some clarity about urgent requests to expedite a case.

What's Changed?

The USCIS announcement provides additional clarity about how to request expedited processing for your immigration case.

Government Interests: USCIS has refined their guidelines to better address cases that are deemed urgent by U.S. federal, state, tribal, territorial, or local governments. These cases often involve matters of public interest, safety, national interest, or security. When a federal agency requests an expedite based on these interests, USCIS is inclined to respect and follow the agency's evaluation.

Travel-Related Requests: The USCIS recognizes that people sometimes need to travel for various reasons. The USCIS is now more accommodating for expedited processing of Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. This is particularly relevant for those within the U.S. who have an immediate need to travel due to unforeseen or significant events. This can include professional or business reasons, academic opportunities, or personal obligations.

Submission and Processing: The update also provides clarity on the submission process for expedite requests. USCIS encourages the use of their online tools and secure messaging for submitting requests and supporting evidence, especially for those with a USCIS online account.

What Does This Mean?

These updates reflect a positive step towards a more streamlined and responsive immigration system. At World One Law Group, we're committed to guiding you through these changes and ensuring your expedite requests are handled with the utmost care and efficiency.
