REFUGEE GREEN CARD CASES NOW TO BE FILED DIRECTLY AT INS NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER

The INS has now transferred the responsibility for adjudicating adjustment of status cases for refugees from local INS offices to the Nebraska Service Center. All refugee cases will now be processed there.

Aside from normal adjustment of status filing procedures, the following special rules will apply to these cases:

- Refugee adjustment applicants do not need to pay a filing fee

- Only the vaccination supplement is required, not the full medical exam

- $25 fingerprint fee for all applicants between applicants age 14 and 74

- For refugee adjustment cases only, all state and local health departments are designated civil surgeons and can complete the vaccination forms. The CDC will send to each health department the Vaccination supplement to Form I-693

Asylum adjustment of status applicants are also filed in Nebraska. A key difference is that asylee refugee applicants must pay the I-485 filing fee. Plus, the asylee must have a full medical exam in addition to the vaccination supplement.

All applications are to be sent to the Nebraska Service Center, PO Box 87485, Lincoln, NE 68501-7485.
