移民局竞相发放28万张绿卡
July 12, 2022
According to bloomberlaw.com USCIS is facing pressure based on a record surplus of employment-based green cards still available for this fiscal year. More than 66,000 employment-based green cards went to waste last year as USCIS handled backlogs from the pandemic. The agency is facing a bigger workload this year with 280,000 green cards available compared to 262,000 in the fiscal year 2021. The higher numbers of green cards available over the past two years are a result of the border closures and limited capacity of U.S. embassies and consular offices during the pandemic. In response to the surplus of green cards available this year, USCIS has moved some staff resources away from other immigration services to processing green cards instead.
