If you believe there is a problem with your case, if you move or need other service, we offer a variety of Case Services while a case is pending or after it is completed. Just call customer service. Asylum Offices do not directly provide Case Services relating to the status of applications or other associated services. Call customer service for information and assistance. AppointmentsWe may schedule an appointment at an ASC, local office or asylum office as we process your case. It is important that you make every effort to make that appointment. Not appearing will at least delay your case. It may mean certain processing steps will have to be repeated. It may also affect eligibility for benefits, and could mean we will have to deny the application or petition. For ASC processing our appointment notice explains alternatives if you cannot make your appointment. For all other appointments, if an emergency prevents you from making your appointment, follow the instructions on the appointment notice.
