An accommodation is a change in a USCIS practice or procedure that allows a qualified individual with a disability to participate in our programs and activities and access our benefits. An accommodation does not exempt you from a USCIS requirement, but instead modifies how you meet it. Accommodations may vary depending on your disability and needs, and what can be provided.
