Contacting USCIS about T, U, and VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) Cases
March 10, 2022
According to Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc., The CIS Ombudsman has shared tips on how to contact USCIS for pending T, U, or VAWA cases. The USCIS Contact Center is generally not able to assist with inquiries related to T, U, or VAWA status applications and petitions due to confidentiality protections established by statute. If the self-petitioner, applicant, or representative calls the USCIS Contact Center, it will direct the individual to the appropriate inquiry mechanism. In certain scenarios, the USCIS Contact Center might schedule the caller to appear at a USCIS field office to verify the individual’s identity so that an inquiry or service request can then be submitted.
To request a biometrics appointment, attorneys and accredited representatives may reach out to USCIS via the email hotlines to request a new date/time or to request a location change for the appointment.
