USCIS has announced delays in the adjudication of certain immigration applications due to the implementation of a new FBI vetting system, which was launched on April 27, 2026. This new system requires re-vetting of cases that have previously undergone fingerprint checks, impacting various immigration processes.
Key Details:
- New security system launched: April 27, 2026
- Affected applications include Adjustment of Status (I-485), Naturalization (N-400), and asylum cases
- Adjudications may be temporarily paused, with delays expected to be brief but timing uncertain
- This situation is separate from existing travel ban-related adjudication holds
The delays may affect work authorization and travel plans for individuals and employers involved in these immigration processes. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
