On July 1, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it is opening an asylum office in Atlanta, Georgia. Beginning July 8, 2026, the Atlanta Asylum Office will conduct interviews for affirmative asylum applicants at three locations.
Those filing for asylum and those who have already filed for asylum who are under the jurisdiction of the Atlanta Asylum Office, which covers Georgia and Alabama, will have their interviews scheduled at one of these locations:
- A new, temporary asylum office location in Atlanta;
- The USCIS Atlanta Field Office; or
- The USCIS Montgomery Field Office in Alabama.
The Atlanta Asylum Office is expected to move into a permanent location in 2027. Until then, USCIS will use the above locations for asylum interviews. The interview notice will include information about where to go for the interview.
The announcement includes mailing and physical addresses for the interview locations noted above.
