The State Department has already released the June Visa Bulletin

After the massive outbreak of Coronavirus in North American territories, it finally seems that the immigration services gradually return to normal.

Due to the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) decided to suspend face-to-face services from the end of March to June 4, 2020.

Thus, for the past two months, immigration services have been behind schedule and process guidelines are stricter now that offices are about to reopen their doors to the public.

The State Department has already released the new Visa Bulletin for June 2020 and the policies to request a change of status.

USCIS offices reopen

In light of the health crisis, USCIS suspended face-to-face services, except in some emergency cases.

However, after more than two months, USCIS reopens its offices and face-to-face services return to their normal rhythm.

The services that USCIS will resume are:

• Naturalization Ceremonies.
• Biometric data updates.
• Asylum and Refuge Applications.
• Face-to-face hearings.
• Green Card applications

It is important to clarify that all the processes are delayed due to the amount of time that the offices were closed, therefore, responses to immigration requests are taking longer than normal.

That is why this time is very valuable to organize the necessary documentation for your immigration case.

The main reason for the suspension of USCIS face-to-face services

The USCIS decided to close its offices during the health crisis for several reasons.

Let’s see some of them:

• Avoid a massive outbreak of Coronavirus at USCIS facilities.
• Protect USCIS employees.
• Counteract the impact of the pandemic among immigrant communities.
• Protect immigration attorneys.

The impact of this measure has been positive in reducing the number of positive cases of COVID-19 in the US territory.

However, it has also generated a very strong economic impact for USCIS, which had to request monetary aid from the Congress to overcome the downturn in income due to the pandemic and the reduction of immigration applications.

Therefore, USCIS expects to be able to maintain current resources to pay employee wages for the next couple of months.

The USCIS also hopes that with the reopening of on-site services, the monthly revenue will rise and may overcome the current recession.

For this and many other reasons, it is the right time to file a properly organized immigration request.

Use the resources available for you

It is well known that the current government of the US wants to reduce immigration at all costs since 2017 and USCIS immigration processes are currently more stringent.

There are various programs and benefits offered to the immigrant population that have been removed from government services due to presidential orders.

However, there are many ways you can take advantage of current benefits and seek specialized help to present a properly organized case to USCIS.

In these changing times, we cannot afford to miss an opportunity to file an immigration application, the waiting times is very long and you could face a deportation case if you do not present the correct documentation.
