Backlog of immigration applications

The backlog of immigration applications reached record numbers in 2021, with approximately 2.6 million pending visa applications in different categories.

These numbers progressively increased during Trump’s term (2017-2020), when his administration implemented several regulations that significantly lengthened immigration processing times due to reduced staffing and expanded screening criteria.

Also, with the arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, biosecurity protocols led to the closure of several USCIS offices, generating even more difficulty in processing immigration applications.

With respect to Employment Authorization Document (EAD) applications, the number doubled to 1.4 million in October 2021.

Difficulties faced by skilled workers

Several foreign workers have stated that USCIS delays in processing or extending EADs bring multiple inconveniences to their work as, despite meeting the renewal criteria, waiting times can exceed one year.

During the long waiting period, the possibilities for basic support are reduced, as it is not possible to continue working with an expired employment permit and driver’s license.

The Biden administration’s commitment

Faced with this situation, the Biden administration has proposed a series of measures aimed at reducing processing times and improving waiting conditions for highly qualified foreign workers.

In fact, among the strategies proposed is to reduce the data collection process including “reusing fingerprints and photos or extending automatic extensions for certain applications“.

In addition, USCIS representatives have assured that one of their main goals is to streamline the processing of employment permits and renewals.
