Potential USCIS Closure, Again
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)continues to request a $1.2 billion bailout from Congress to remedy their budget crises. As announced earlier this summer, without congressional funding,USCIS claims that it will not have sufficient funds to maintain its operations.
As a result it may furlough more than 13,000 USCIS employees on August 30, 2020.
These furloughs will result in the loss of employment for thousands of U.S. workers and bring the immigration system to a standstill. Consideration should be given to any USCIS filing deadlines within the next several weeks,and efforts made to submit as soon as possible.
