BAL has confirmed that the Vermont Service Center of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has reopened today after closing temporarily for potential COVID-19 exposure.

Key points:

  • The closure of certain operations at the VSC caused delays in receiving mail at the end of last week.
  • The VSC is reportedly receiving mail normally now.
  • The temporary closure is unlikely to cause significant additional delays in processing immigration applications since many Service Center officers already telework from offsite.
