On November 14, USCIS proposed a regulation that, if implemented, would require applicants and petitioners to pay increased fees for decreased services. In recent years, USCIS case processing has slowed dramatically, due in significant part to the agency’s own inefficient policies. The proposed rule offers no remedy for this decline in agency performance, instead promising more of the same delays, but at heightened cost to customers. The public may submit comments opposing the regulation through December 16, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has prepared a comment template. Submit your comment today!
