What does "NEW CALL UP DATE" mean on a USCIS letter?
Asked on Jul 16th, 2022 on Immigration - California
More details to this question:
In April 25, 2022, USCIS mailed a letter with the title "REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE" in response to my I-751 application (petition to remove condition on residence). In the letter, it is stated that "Your response must be received in this office by July 21,2022". I did not receive the mail the first time due to relocating to a different address, and I had to request them to resend it. The new letter was re-mailed, with a sticker at the bottom of the first page that says "Re-MAILED 06-07-2022" "NEW CALL UP DATE" "TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 2022", where this date is highlighted in pink. Does this mean that I have until August 30th to submit my documents? Your help is very much appreciated!
A “call up date" is the date which an immigration officer sets to call the file back up and look at it for adjudication purposes. It is assumed that some action will occur prior to the call up date that will make the file complete for adjudication by that time. Under USCIS’s present flexibility on RFE’s and other requests for information during the time of the pandemic, individuals are given another 60 days to respond to the agency. Thus, your real deadline is September 19, 2022. It may be that the USCIS officer thinks that you will give back a response by August 30, 2022, and so put in the call up date. If there is nothing by that time, the officer would likely put the file back down with another call up date.
