USCIS has issued a new policy memorandum that is raising concerns among the employment-based immigration community, particularly for professionals who have been waiting years for green card availability. This policy may necessitate that some families complete their processing outside the United States, adding further uncertainty to their immigration journey.
Key Details:
- Affected groups: Primarily Indian professionals and their families.
- Current issues: Long-standing per-country visa limits have already created significant backlogs in EB-1 and EB-2 categories.
- New guidance: Increased reliance on consular processing may lead to additional National Visa Center processing and 221(g) administrative reviews.
- Impact on families: Delays can create substantial uncertainty and stress, especially for dual-career households with children.
This new policy underscores the need for careful case strategy and strong advocacy for affected immigrants. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
