Local USCIS Office in Denver, Colorado
Over 505,000 immediate relatives of U.S. citizens received a green card in 2019. The U.S. federal agency responsible for processing most immigration cases is the USCIS. The agency has service locations inside and outside the U.S.
The role of a field office in the immigration process is to conduct applicant interviews and provide information. Besides these main roles the office also has other responsibilities such as arranging oathtaking of citizens.
It’s important to note here that an office visit is not the only way of learning about immigration and following your case. The official USCIS website has all the tools for exploring immigration options and outcomes and following the progress of an application. The federal agency also has a service that provides automated and live assistance.
The Denver Field Office
Within the U.S., the field locations are categorized into Districts and Regions. There are 26 Districts spread across four Regions – Western, Central, Northeast, and Southeast.
The Denver field office serves Colorado and Wyoming States and is located in the Central Region and Denver District at:
Denver (DEN) 12484 East Weaver Place Englewood, CO 80111
Appointments are a compulsory part of office visits, so take the time to schedule one before your visit. You can make an appointment by calling the agency. If you’re outside the country you can do the same by using the online InfoPass system.
If you want to provide feedback about your visit to the field office, you can do that by talking to a representative there. Alternatively, you can contact the dept. of homeland security, the parent body of the USCIS.
Case Processing Times
The federal agency is currently piloting a new format for processing cases. In this format, you can see the time as a range consisting of the duration for processing half and nearly all (93%) of the applications. The following three times are examples of this format for the Denver field office:
- Naturalization (N-400): 7 to 14 months
- Certificate of Citizenship (N-600): 6.5 to 14.5 months
- Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322 (N-600K): 10 to 22.5 months
If the processing time for your application type is in the standard format, you’ll see it displayed differently than the above on the USCIS page.
Note that the processing times are an estimate. There’s a possibility of delays in processing. For this purpose, the agency has a case inquiry date for each application. You can find this info under the given processing times along with guidance about submitting your inquiry.
