BIG FAILURE: 13 Million Backlogs & Counting | Immigration System inefficiency Creates Disaster
#usimmigrationnews #greencard #immigrationreform
Hello, Welcome to US Immigration Updates.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has a backlog of around 5.2 million immigration benefit requests, with an additional 8.5 million pending requests that are not in the backlog yet because they aren’t ready for adjudication. This means that USCIS has 13.7 million benefit requests to do — in addition to the new applications it is receiving.

Now, Let’s get into the video.
USCIS plans to hire 4,000 additional employees by the end of this calendar year, but the agency has been overwhelmed by a backlog crisis that wasn’t caused entirely by an employee shortage, and its backlog won’t be brought under control just by adding more employees.
The Office of Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman describes systemic problems in USCIS’s application-fee-based funding system that are preventing it from fully utilizing its personnel and resources and suggests ways to improve the situation in recommendations submitted to USCIS on June 15, 2022.
The Ombudsman seems to have overlooked a systemic problem that I think should have been addressed.
The application-fee-based system USCIS is using rewards inefficiency.
USCIS requests for an increase in application fees are based to a great extent on how much time is being spent on processing the various applications it adjudicates. The more time it takes to adjudicate the applications, the higher the fees USCIS can charge. The higher the fees, the more money the agency will have to meet its budgetary needs.
Conversely, if USCIS reduces the time it takes to do the applications by becoming more efficient, the fees will be lower and the agency will have less money for meeting its budgetary needs.
This is a problem for all of the applications USCIS processes — new, backlogged, and pending.
USCIS isn’t going to be able to keep up with its caseload and get its backlog under control until all of these problems have been eliminated.
Approximately 97 percent of the USCIS’s budget is funded by the filing fees it collects, but the agency is not permitted to charge fees for all of the applications it has to process. For instance, fees cannot be collected when the applications are for specified types of humanitarian relief, such as affirmative asylum applications. With some exceptions, the cost of paying for these applications is borne by USCIS’ fee-paying customers.
