USCIS Opens New International Field Office in Ethiopia to Support Fraud Prevention

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is opening a new international field office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The office will begin operations on September 9, 2026, and will handle USCIS immigration matters in Ethiopia.

What this means

  • This is an agency announcement. It records what the agency said — the legal instrument, and the detail of how it applies, are published separately. (classification: announcement)
  • The document names Ethiopia. It may identify others — read the original to be sure. (impact.stated (partial))

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

Who is affected

This list may be incomplete — the document may identify others. Read the original. Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

  • A USCIS announcement describes the agency's own action. Legal effect, and the detail of how it applies, usually arrives separately in the Federal Register or the USCIS Policy Manual.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Sep 15, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
