USCIS Offices in Texas and How They Work

Immigration » Immigration resources » USCIS offices

Knowing which USCIS office handles your case, and what happens there, takes away a lot of stress. This page explains the different kinds of USCIS offices and links to the official page for each Texas location we are asked about most. We prepare our clients for every appointment, whichever office it is at.

The four kinds of USCIS offices

Field offices hold interviews for most green card and citizenship cases and host naturalization ceremonies. They do not accept walk-ins, so an appointment notice is required.
Application support centers take fingerprints, photographs and signatures for biometrics appointments. They do not decide cases.
Asylum offices interview people who applied for asylum with USCIS.
Service centers review most filed applications and petitions by mail or online, and usually do not meet applicants in person.

Attorneys now attend interviews in person

USCIS announced that, beginning May 18, 2026, attorneys and accredited representatives generally may not take part in field office interviews, or in affirmative asylum and NACARA interviews, by remote connection, except in limited circumstances. Legal representatives must be physically present. If you have an interview notice, send it to us right away so we can plan the appointment with you.

Find your field office

Field office locations depend on your address, and USCIS lists them in its own office search. Use the USCIS office locator with your zip code, or see the USCIS field offices page and the application support centers page. The office on your notice is the one you must go to, so check it carefully, and tell us if the address or date does not work for you.
