President Biden has declared Thursday, Jan. 9, a National Day of Mourning to remember the life and legacy of James Earl Carter Jr., the 39th president of the United States, and has issued an Executive Order Providing for the Closing of Executive Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government on January 9, 2025.
Accordingly, all USCIS offices will be closed on Thursday, Jan. 9. We will reschedule all naturalization ceremonies, interviews, and appointments set for that day, and promptly inform those affected.
All applicants who have biometric appointments scheduled for Jan. 9 will receive a new appointment notice within three weeks. Applicants can also reschedule their appointment using the biometric services appointment rescheduling tool on their USCIS online account before their scheduled appointment.
The USCIS Contact Center live assistance will also be closed. USCIS online tools and resources will remain available. Additional information is available on the Contact Us page.
