On June 5, 2026, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has opened an additional asylum office in San Antonio, Texas.
As of May 28, 2026, those who filed for asylum with USCIS who reside in the jurisdiction of the Houston Asylum Office may be interviewed at either the Houston or San Antonio Asylum Offices. USCIS said that the additional location “increases the Houston Asylum Office’s capacity to schedule and conduct affirmative asylum interviews.”
