If you become ill for any reason, regardless of whether you were exposed to COVID-19, please do not come to appointments with any USCIS office.

  • Were in any country designated as a "level 3" by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within 14 days of your appointment;
  • Believe that you may have been exposed to COVID-19 (even if you were not recently in any level 3 country); or
  • Are experiencing flu-like symptoms (such as a runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat or fever).

Visit coronavirus.gov for a complete list of CDC travel health notices.

We will help you reschedule your appointment without penalty when you are healthy.

Do you think THEY will cancel AOS interviews by shutting down the offices?

If one of their staff catches coronavirus they will shut down that office for sure.

I rescheduled my interview because we had to flight to Honolulu and I have symptom as it says, but my request was denied because I didn’t send an evidence for it even the person said I wouldn’t have to go. I didn’t get any emails so I didn’t go. 
My case status now “no one appeared for in-person progressing”. 
 

I’m afraid of going to the hospital right now and I wonder if I had to be diagnosed as nothing?

This is recent, I think yesterday, when did you reschedule your interview? I would contact them again quoting the above.

The official announcement was issued on the 5th or so I think. I called on the 2nd, but I wrote a letter 5th, sent it to local office. 
I called to know what happened to my case because the case status scares me. Then he said they sent an email but I didn’t get and I need an evidence. I still have diarrhea so maybe I need to go to see a doc to get a diagnosis letter... but what if I didn’t get diagnosed!?

I would contact them again today and say you are still unwell and taking into account the recent proclamation do they still need evidence.
