USCIS Changes Weekend Filing Deadlines

Starting October 23, 2026, USCIS will change how certain filing deadlines that fall on weekends or federal holidays are handled. Some paper filings due within a specified number of days may still arrive on the next business day. However, this extension will not apply to eligibility deadlines tied to specific events, such as reaching a certain age. Applicants must ensure USCIS receives those filings before the eligibility period ends.
