U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced it will open an international field office in Quito, Ecuador, on Sept. 10.

Key Points:

  • The Quito Field Office will be located in the U.S. Embassy in Ecuador.

  • Services will be available by appointment only.

Additional Information: “Opening the Quito Field Office expands USCIS’ international presence and expertise in a critical location and is part of our commitment to the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to facilitate safe and orderly lawful pathways and meet our humanitarian mission,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. More information about the new field office is available here.
