USCIS is going to stay open! On Tuesday, August 25, 2020, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced it would abandon plans to furlough more than 13,000 employees next week, temporarily averting a scenario that would have crippled the processing of applications for green cards, work permits, U.S. citizenship and other immigration benefits.
In a message to employees, Deputy USCIS Director for Policy said the agency was able to avoid furloughing nearly 13,000 or 73% of its workforce because its financial situation has "improved somewhat" since the spring, when the coronavirus pandemic fueled an unprecedented drop in applications. Unlike most other federal agencies, USCIS is largely funded through the fees it charges.
Though applications have increased in recent weeks, the agency is still projecting a budget shortfall heading into fiscal year 2021, which starts in October, and continue to require financial assistance from Congress.
USCIS is going to stay open!
We continue to prepare and file new petitions and applications with USCIS and process cases through the National Visa Center (NVC)..
Briefly in-Russian:
25 августа 2020 было объявлено, что USCIS не будет временно увольнять 13 000 или 73% всех сотрудников, что планировалось из-за нехватки денег. Таким образом, USCIS остается открытым и не предвидится новых задержек в рассмотрения дел и заявлений.
USCIS Service Centers остаются открыты и новые дела принимаются на рассмотрение.
Мы продолжаем готовить и подавать новые петиции и заявления в USCIS и ведем дела в Национальном Визовом Центре (NVC).
