USCIS announced that it will reuse previously submitted biometrics to process Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, extension requests (which includes DACA Extensions) due to the temporary closure of Application Support Centers (ASC) to the public, preventing the capture of new biometrics. This procedure will remain in effect until ASCs are re-opened to the public.

USCIS will automatically reschedule ASC appointments by sending out new appointment letters in the mail when it again resumes normal operations. Individuals who had InfoPass or other appointments must reschedule through the USCIS Contact Center once field offices are open to the public again.

USCIS requires a valid signature on applications, petitions, requests, and certain other documents. However, it announced that it will temporarily accept all forms and documents with reproduced original signatures  for submissions dated March 21, 2020, and beyond. This means that original documents containing handwritten signature may be scanned, faxed, photocopied, or similarly reproduced for submission with USCIS, eliminating the need for petitioners, attorneys and beneficiaries mailing hard copies of original documents for the duration of this National Emergency. Electronic signatures are not being accepted at USCIS. 

Individuals or entities that submit documents bearing an electronically reproduced original signature must also retain copies of the original documents containing the “wet” signature.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allowed some flexibility by instructing employers to use "remote verification" and inspect the Section 2 documents over video link, fax or email, etc. and obtain, inspect, and retain copies of the documents, within three business days for purposes of completing Section 2. Employers should enter “COVID-19” as the reason for the physical inspection delay in the Section 2 Additional Information field once physical inspection takes place after normal operations resume. Once the documents have been physically inspected, the employer should add “documents physically examined” with the date of inspection to the Section 2 additional information field on the Form I-9, or to section 3 as appropriate. This provision only applies to employers and workplaces that are operating remotely.
