Form I-730 processing is divided into three steps:</p><ol><li>Receipt and Initial Domestic Processing;</li><li>Beneficiary Interview and Additional Processing; and</li><li>Department of State Returns (as appropriate).</li></ol><p><strong>Receipt and Initial Domestic Processing</strong></p><p>The Service Center Operations Directorate (SCOPS) receives all Form I-730 petitions. SCOPS performs initial domestic processing of Form I-730 following-to-join asylee (FTJ-A) petitions. The Refugee, Asylum and International Operations Directorate (RAIO) performs initial domestic processing of Form I-730 following-to-join refugee (FTJ-R) petitions at USCIS International Operations. Generally, USCIS processes Form I-730 petitions in the order we receive them.</p><p>If we need additional evidence, we will issue you a request for evidence (RFE) and give you an opportunity to respond.</p><p><strong>Beneficiary Interview and Additional Processing</strong></p><p>Once we complete initial domestic processing of your Form I-730, and if we determine that your relative appears eligible as a follow-to-join asylee or refugee, we will send your petition to the appropriate office to interview your spouse or child and continue processing. After receiving your petition, the interviewing office will notify you, your spouse or child, and any representative of record, and provide additional instructions.</p><p>If the beneficiary is located <strong>within the United States</strong>, we will forward the petition to the appropriate USCIS <a href="/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="4bcbec06-2784-4ac0-a5d6-98982f942e85" data-entity-substitution="canonical">domestic field office</a> based on the beneficiary’s residence. We will send you a transfer notice listing the USCIS field office.

You will receive a transfer notice listing the USCIS international field office that will interview your beneficiary and complete processing. Currently, USCIS maintains international field offices in Bangladesh, China, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Kenya, Mexico, Qatar, and Turkey. Please note that the USCIS Nairobi Field Office also processes Form I-730 following-to-join refugee petitions for beneficiaries located in Burundi and Uganda.

If your beneficiary will be interviewed at a DOS embassy or consulate, you will receive an approval notice from USCIS after initial domestic processing of your petition is complete. You can find more information about U.S. embassies and consulates on the <a href="https://www.usembassy.gov/">DOS U.S. Embassy Locator</a> page, which also includes details on whether the U.S. embassy or consulate is open for interviews and additional processing.</p><p><strong>Department of State Returns</strong></p><p>If DOS interviews and processes the beneficiary outside the United States and finds a basis for ineligibility, DOS will return the petition to the domestic USCIS processing component for further review of the decision. We will then review the Form I-730 and may re-open the petition and request additional information, deny the petition, or reaffirm the petition and return it to DOS for continued processing.</p></div></div></div> </div> <section class="content-section content-items-list files-listing files-listing--icons"> <h2>Forms and Document Downloads</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-attached-files field__items"> <div class="field__item"><article class="media media--type-document media--view-mode-linked-file"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-file field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-730.pdf" type="application/pdf" title="i-730.pdf">Form I-730 <span class="extra-info file-ext-info">(PDF, 341.34 KB)</span></a></span> </div> </article> </div> <div class="field__item"><article class="media media--type-document media--view-mode-linked-file"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-file field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-730instr.pdf" type="application/pdf" title="i-730instr.pdf">Instructions for Form I-730 <span class="extra-info file-ext-info">(PDF, 94.55 KB)</span></a></span> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> <section class="content-section content-section--form-details"> <h2 class="form-details-title">Form Details</h2> <div class="accordion content-accordion"><div class="accordion__header" tabindex="0">Edition Date</div><div class="accordion__panel"><div class="views-element-container"><div class="container container--views forms-updates-listing block-2 forms-updates-listing-block_2 js-view-dom-id-820a9732d4b3e78dbe06add063116f0110e70a4f50f51fdcd6ddd56ac34c3c12 hide-view-label"><div class="views-scroll-marker"></div><div class="first last"><p>01/20/25<span class="edition-date-period">.</span> Starting April 17, 2025, we will accept only the 01/20/25 edition.
