The USCIS has just announced that it will close its Field Office in Manila effective July 5, 2019. It will continue to accept petitions and applications until May 31, 2019 only. This should not be confused with the US Embassy Manila which is housed in the same compound located at 1201 Roxas Blvd, Ermita, Manila, 1000 Metro Manila, Philippines. The US Embassy Manila remains open.
Thereafter, the U.S. Embassy in Manila will assume responsibility for certain limited services previously provided by the said Field Office only for individuals residing in the Philippines.
