Instructions For Form I-600a - Application For Advance Processing Of An Orphan Petition Page 13

Reasonable accommodations vary with each disability and/or impairment. They may involve modifications to practices
or procedures. There are various types of reasonable accommodations that USCIS may offer. Examples include but are
not limited to:
1.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, USCIS may provide you with a sign-language interpreter at an interview or other
application-related appointment;
2. If you are blind or have low vision, USCIS may permit you to take a test orally rather than in writing; or
3.
If you are unable to travel to a designated USCIS location for an interview, USCIS may visit you at your home or a
hospital.
If you believe that you need USCIS to accommodate your disability and/or impairment, select "Yes" and then any
applicable box in Part 4. that describes the nature of your disabilities and/or impairments. Also, describe the types of
accommodations you are requesting on the lines provided. If you are requesting a sign-language interpreter, indicate for
which language.
NOTE: All domestic USCIS facilities meet the Accessibility Guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act, so you
do not need to contact USCIS to request an accommodation for physical access to a domestic USCIS office. However, in
Part 4. of this application, you can indicate whether you use a wheelchair. This will allow USCIS to better prepare for
your visit.
USCIS considers requests for reasonable accommodations on a case-by-case basis, and we will make our best efforts to
reasonably accommodate your disabilities and/or impairments. USCIS will not exclude you from participating in USCIS
programs or deny your application because of your disabilities and/or impairments. Requesting and/or receiving an
accommodation will not affect your eligibility for any USCIS benefits.
