USCIS green card processing times doubled from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2021, largely due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase occurred even before the surge in migrant applications began to influence processing times. The information comes from immigration expert @ReichlinMelnick, who has closely monitored USCIS operations and engaged directly with officials.
Key Details:
- Processing times for green cards increased significantly from FY20 to FY21.
- The doubling of processing times was attributed primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The impact of the migrant influx on processing times was noted to be minimal at that stage.
- Ongoing backlogs continue to affect applicants seeking green cards.
This increase in processing times has created challenges for many immigrants awaiting their green card applications. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
