USCIS comments that it is improving its processes for Form I-730, the Refugee/Aslyee
Relative Petition. The agency will phase in changes in responsibility
for approving these forms from USCIS Service Centers to USCIS international
field offices. This change will not alter the requirements for the form
itself. Additionally, it will not alter processing times nor place additional
requirements on petitioners.
The first phase of this change began on April 1, 2014, and involved only
cases for beneficiaries residing in China. In such instances, a USCIS
international field office in China will conduct the interview and complete
final case adjudication in the following cases:
1 – When the form was not adjudicated at a USCIS Service Center
on or before March 31, 2014, and
2 – When the USCIS Service Center had not identified any issues
requiring denial fo the form before the petition is transferred to China.
