USCIS is reportedly considering transferring certain Service Center cases to Field Offices, a move that could impact the processing of employment-based applications. This information was shared during a recent Immigration Briefings call held by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC). The potential changes reflect USCIS’s ongoing efforts to manage workloads effectively.
Key Details:
- Rumor: USCIS may transfer Service Center cases to Field Offices.
- Concern: Field Offices may lack expertise in employment-based applications.
- Historical context: USCIS previously reversed a policy requiring interviews for all employment-based cases due to officer unfamiliarity.
- New form: A proposed AR-11 Change of Address form may soon require applicants to disclose any means-tested benefits received, with a 60-day comment period expected.
These developments highlight the evolving nature of immigration processes and the challenges faced by applicants navigating these changes. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
