DACA recipients losing jobs as backlog leads to expired permits.

Posted on July 28, 2021 by sethlerner1964

A Report emerged that around 13,000 renewal cases for DACA recipients have been pending for more than four months, according to sources from USCIS. The backlog, worsened by the pandemic, has further been clogged by thousands of first-time applications for DACA permits which are simultaneously in the process of being reviewed. Recipients of the program are being especially proactive in renewing their permits, which is required every two years, because of a pending case in a Texas court, which is examining the legality of the DACA. While USCIS acknowledged the delays, the agency said that first-time DACA applications and renewal requests remain within normal processing times.

Posted on July 1, 2021 by sethlerner1964

USCIS announced that it has received enough petitions to reach the cap for the additional 16,000 H-2B visas made available for returning workers only. The agency continues to accept petitions for H-2B nonimmigrant workers for the additional 6,000 visas allotted for nationals of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Petitioners whose workers were not selected for the returning worker allotment are encouraged to refile for workers from the Northern Triangle countries while that visa allotment remain available. The final date for filing petitions requesting Northern Triangle nationals who are exempt from the returning worker requirement is July 8, 2021.
