Risk Based Approach and Processing times

[A110 96]

What do you think would be the impact of the risk-based approach on I751 processing times? I personally think the implication can be huge and would shave so much time off as the officers would spend less time on each "average" case and the due diligence for each case would be much simpler assuming they are straightforward (let's face it most cases are given most people have been interviewed for their I485 even with complications such as a divorce as long as there is good evidence). I also have the theory that with the coming elections the Democrats want faster processing times as it would be likely most immigrants would favor them so I do think the processing times are gonna speed up.

Last but not least covid is also over so things are kinda back to normal. What do you think?

By risk based approach do you mean discrimination?

 

What factors would you use?

 

You have to be a USC to vote 

 

Most people are more concerned with inflation, economy how they will pay their bills etc

Covid is not "over," nor will it ever be.  It continues to impact staffing as people get sick and must quarantine/take time off.

Officers will still need to be trained. Not going to happen overnight.

Democrats have been in power for almost two years and they’ve done nothing for immigrants, other than just giving empty promises.

Uh?

I think it will take time to apply.

 

and even if they have not fulfilled all their promises, Democrats are definitely better for immigrants than Republicans, just remember stephen miller, the public charge rule, new test for naturalization, bogging down the legal immigration system, etc.etc. etc.

Ok, say what you want but I personally think with the new processing time interface USCIS is actually implementing some strategies to address the backlog. There would be no need for more transparency if all they wanted was more complaints. I personally think processing times will slowly improve within the next 6 months or so.

That is what is in place now.

LOL!!!!!!!!  So, are you saying immigrants don't know that inflation is sky-high, government spending is excessive, gas prices are outrageous, and the southern border is wide open?

You’re of course free to believe what you want. 
I still have to see changes across the board in order to say it was successful.

… how? I’m an immigrant and I still see inflation is sky high, gad is outrageous, the border is still open while in the meantime those of us who are doing things legally are still under the backlog…

It doesn't take a genius to figure out he's talking about immigration policies specifically.  And he gave enough examples of why that's the case.

Y0u are correct.

 

I really don't see what gas prices and inflation have anything to do with immigration policies,  they are hurdles faced by everyone living in the USA.  I guess that's a way of pivoting the subject. 

 

If the stephen miller public charge rule had been in effect, many of the people in this forum would not even have access to the legal immigration process.  Most of the backlogs were artificially and purposely placed in the legal immigration process, for example, requiring an interview for ALL adjustment of status cases, and specially ROC applications.

 

And I do understand that we all wish that all of this had been undone quickly, sadly that is just not how government works, although, lately there have been good signs.

 

The previous administration was so pernicious against immigrants the they even tried to change the interpretation of the 14th amendment of the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship, and they tried to get rid of DACA.

It's pretty simple the Dems want less strict immigration policies and the conservatives want the opposite. Part of it is border control, Daca, and things relevant to that, the other part is the number of Visas being issued and less strict immigration policies in general. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INFLATION. IT IS PART OF THEIR AGENDA. Now whether the current issues regarding the economy, guns, or abortion will make an immigrant vote for republicans is an entirely different matter. I just laid some of my thoughts as to why the processing times may improve and people are expecting to either see immediate results (I clearly stated that we may start to see the effects by the next 6 months) or somehow relate this to the economy or the price of gas.
