USCIS Reminds Japanese Nationals Impacted by Recent Disaster of Available
Immigration Benefits
Released: March 17, 2011
WASHINGTON—In light of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan, U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds Japanese nationals of
certain U.S. immigration benefits available upon request.
USCIS understands that a natural disaster can affect an individual’s
ability
to establish or maintain lawful immigration status. Temporary relief
measures
available to eligible nationals of Japan may include:
The grant of an application for change or extension of nonimmigrant status
for an individual currently in the United States, even when the request is
filed after the authorized period of admission has expired;
Re-parole of individuals granted parole by USCIS;
Extension of certain grants of advance parole, and expedited processing of
advance parole requests;
Expedited adjudication and approval, where possible, of requests for off-
campus employment authorization for F-1 students experiencing severe
economic
hardship;
Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relatives of U.S.
citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs);
Expedited employment authorization where appropriate; and
Assistance to LPRs stranded overseas without immigration documents such as
Green Cards. USCIS and the Department of State will coordinate on these
matters when the LPR is stranded in a place that has no local USCIS office.
Visitors traveling under the Visa Waiver Program may visit a USCIS local
office for assistance. Japanese nationals who are at a U.S. airport may
contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office there.
