US immigration.
President Biden plans to Simplify Green card and US Visa processing, aiming to expand legal immigration, so it will be far easier to immigrate to the United States. There will be shorter and simpler forms. applicants will have to jump through fewer immigration security hoops, irrespective of whether its visas, green cards or citizenship process. Thus increasing opportunities to join their families, and easily secure work visas.
The COVID-19 pandemic has effectively shut down immigration to the U.S. from abroad. Due to previous administrations Draconian immigration policies, added with covid-19 resulted in Immigrant and non immigrant visa issuances drop to extremely low levels.
Employment Greencard approval time doubled. U Visa Approval has gone from five months to roughly five years.
For Immigrant Visa Backlog: NVC is holding on to 481,965 qualified visa applications, that are pending the scheduling of an interview.
The backlog for citizenship applications is up 80 percent since 2014, to more than 900,000 cases.
similarly for NonImmigrant Visa: Before the pandemic, an average of over 721,000 nonimmigrant visas were issued each month worldwide. but now, fewer than 126,000 nonimmigrant visas are issued, which is 83% reduction in visa issuance.
