Is my interview at Hawthorne Street or in Oakland?
Check the location line on your notice. The USCIS office page, dated April 20, 2026, lists 75 Hawthorne Street, 7th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105. A USCIS alert dated May 13, 2024, announced a temporary additional location at 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612, effective May 15, 2024, and said applicants may be told to appear there. The alert gives no suite number. The current office page does not mention Oakland, and we found nothing saying whether that site is still in use. So do not assume either address. Your notice decides, and our guide to the affirmative asylum process explains what the interview is. Mail for both locations went to PO Box 77530, San Francisco, CA 94107.
Which states and California counties go to San Francisco?
USCIS lists Alaska, Oregon and Washington, plus long county lists for California and Nevada. In California the list runs from Alameda and Contra Costa through Sacramento, Fresno, Kern, Santa Clara, Sonoma and up to Del Norte and Siskiyou. In Nevada it runs from Carson City and Churchill to Elko, Lyon and White Pine. Reno readers will not find Washoe spelled out: the page prints "Wash", apparently a cut-off Washoe, though USCIS does not say so. Southern California and Clark County, Nevada, sit on the list of the Los Angeles Asylum Office in Tustin instead. If you moved between those areas, update your address through the Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 or at uscis.gov/ar-11.
How do I get to 75 Hawthorne Street?
USCIS says BART, Muni, SamTrans and Golden Gate Transit serve the area, without naming a station or line. For parking, it says only that public lots are near the office and that costs vary, and it names no lot. Drivers from the South Bay take US-101 North to I-80, exit at Bryant Street, turn left onto 2nd Street, left onto Howard Street and left onto Hawthorne Street. From the East Bay, take I-80 West, exit at Fremont Street, turn left onto Howard Street and left onto Hawthorne Street. The office is accessible, and interview accommodations go through the Contact Center.
How do I reach the office, and can my lawyer attend by video?
USCIS lists 415-575-1300 as the phone and 415-575-1393 as the fax, and this page gives no office email. Since April 20, 2026, the office has offered no in-person information services and no walk-ins. USCIS says asylum offices do not give status help on specific applications by phone, citing confidentiality, so status questions go online or to the Contact Center, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern. Extra evidence for a pending Form I-589 application may go by postal mail, and the mailing address USCIS lists is the PO Box. From May 18, 2026, USCIS says attorneys and accredited representatives must be physically present at affirmative asylum interviews at asylum offices, except in limited circumstances, and a representative must have filed Form G-28.
Is there still an immigration court in San Francisco?
EOIR announced on May 1, 2026, that the San Francisco Immigration Court would permanently close at the close of business on Sept. 4, 2026, and that its Sansome Street location would become a hearing location under the administrative control of the Concord court at 1855 Gateway Boulevard, Suite 850. An April 2026 EOIR notice gives that site as 630 Sansome Street, 4th Floor, Room 475. EOIR's status page, read October 31, 2026, shows Concord and has no Sansome entry, so we could not confirm its current use. KALW reported a person whose online record showed Concord went there and learned the hearing was still in San Francisco. Follow your newest hearing notice, and confirm the date and location with the court if anything conflicts.
