추가서류요청 답변 60일 추가 부여 등 '유연성' 정책 종료

이민국 (USCIS)은 COVID-19 팬데믹 상황에서 일부 서류제출 마감기한에 대해 60일 추가기간을 더 주는 '유연성' 정책 (Flexibilities)을 2023년 3월 23일 종료한다. 그동안 마감기한을 지키지 않는 경우 명백한 거절 (Denied)사유가 되어오던 이들 서류제출요청 기한을 지난 2020년 3월부터 팬데믹이란 특수상황을 고려해 일정기간 여유를 준 것.

3월 23일부터는 기존대로 이민국에서 부여한 기간 내에 서류를 제출하지 않으면 거절될 수 있으니 주의가 요망된다.
