Nag-abiso na ang US Embassy dito sa Pilipinas hinggil sa tuluyang pagsasara ng Immigration services nito sa Hulyo.
Sa isang e-mailed statement sinabi ng United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) na target nilang bawasan ang presensya ng tanggapan sa ibang bansa dahil sa ilang adjustments na kanilang ginagawa sa bilang sangay ng Department of Homeland Security.
Dahil dito, hindi na tatanggap ng bagong aplikasyon o petisyon ang USCIS dahil noong May 31 pa raw ang huling deadline nito.
Habang sa July 5 ang huling araw ng operasyon ng naturang tanggapan sa Maynila.
Kaugnay nito may bagong instructions ang USCIS para sa mga dati ng in-assist ng tanggapan nito hinggil sa filing ng mga dokumento gaya ng:
Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative:Â File your petition by mail with the USCIS lockbox facility in Chicago. You can find additional filing information on the Form I-130 web page.

Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant (for Widow(er) petitions only):Â If you are a widow(er) of a US citizen, please see the Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant page for the most current filing instructions.

Filipino World War II Veterans Parole (FWVP) Program: You must file your petition with the USCIS lockbox facility in Chicago. If your petition is accepted, it will be forwarded to a USCIS service center for adjudication. If the service center conditionally approves your application, it will forward it to the Department of State’s (DOS) National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will transfer your case to the USCIS office or U.S. embassy or consulate abroad where your beneficiary relative will be interviewed.
Tiniyak naman ng US Embassy na hahalili sila sa ilang serbisyo na dati ng ibinibigay ng USCIS para sa mga US citizens na naririto sa Pilipinas.
