Plain-language guides to US immigration, asylum and USCIS procedure.

Asylum offices

USCIS has 13 asylum offices. Each covers a fixed territory, decided by where the applicant lives, and interviews affirmative asylum applicants (Form I-589) and NACARA 203 cases; nothing is filed there and there are no walk-ins. Several offices also hold interviews at satellite sites closer to applicants. The office that has your case is the one whose territory contains your address on the day of the interview, so a move can change it. All of this is drawn from USCIS's own office locator and ZIP-code table.
