USCIS Implements a Plan to Reduce Current Case Backlogs
During the Covid-19 Pandemic in 2020, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) was given limited resources from the prior administration to process immigration cases timely, therefore, causing major backlogs and extended processing times. In efforts to resolve this ongoing problem, USCIS implemented new procedures during the last week of March and has reduced major case backlogs.
