The recent crisis created by the 7.8 earthquake striking Nepal on April 25, 2015 has prompted the USCIS to implement several immigration relief processes that may be available to Nepali nationals affected by the quake.

  • Accelerated processing of advance parole requests;
    Accelerated adjudication of off-campus employment authorization for F-1 students with critical economic hardship and employment authorization applications, where applicable;
  • Facilitating change or extension non-immigrant status for individuals currently in the United States, even if a request has been filed after the authorized period of admission has expired, and;
  • Consideration for waivers of fees related to USCIS benefit applications, based on the inability to pay
