USCIS is reopening an office in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. This office will focus on helping refugees and reuniting families.
The head of USCIS, Ur M. Jaddou, said reopening the office is essential for the Biden-Harris administration’s goals.
They want to make it easier for people to come to the U.S. in a safe and organized way. The office will be in the U.S. Embassy in Honduras.
USCIS staff will take over some tasks from the U.S. Department of State, like interviews and processing applications for refugees and their families. They’ll also work on preventing fraud.
People who need help from the office will have to make appointments. USCIS will provide more information about the office and how to make appointments on its website.
This is part of USCIS’s plan to have more offices outside the U.S. to handle its work.
Tegucigalpa will be the ninth international office, joining Beijing, Mexico City, and New Delhi.
