Regarding the backlog of pending cases

During the presentation, Jaddou did not deny that there is a serious problem in the processing of immigration applications in general, considering that the most recent report reached a backlog of 1.6 million pending applications.

Adding to that, Jaddou also acknowledged that this difficulty in the functioning of the USCIS substantially affects foreign workers who sometimes lose their jobs while waiting for the resolution of their cases or the renewal of their permits.

However, she also proposes several viable alternatives to effectively address the situation and reduce waiting times for applicants.

The USCIS budget shortfall

Jaddou mentioned a few factors that influence the long wait times. The main reason is that the USCIS currently has a limited operating budget, which does not allow employees to cope with the number of immigration cases that are on hold and keep coming in.

Proposals to expedite processing

For the reason stated above, the USCIS made a request to Congress to increase financial resources for FY 2022 to prioritize investment in staff and equipment to mitigate the impact of the backlog of immigration applications.

For their part, Democratic senators have advanced a bill that seeks to provide the agency with $345 million for FY 2022, but this proposal has not yet been approved.
