Faster Family Reunification
Good news for those hoping to bring family members to the U.S. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is working to reduce the processing time for family reunification visas. This makes it easier to reunite with loved ones, but you’ll still need to prepare documents accurately. Expert assistance ensures your application meets all criteria, helping you avoid delays and mistakes.
Fee Increases for Visa and Green Card Applications
Starting in April 2024, application fees for many visa types, including work and family-based visas, have increased. Employment-based applications, for instance, now carry an additional fee, while nonprofit organizations may benefit from reduced costs. For anyone applying, understanding these fees and planning your budget is important. Professional services can help you prepare and avoid costly errors in paperwork.
Enhanced Premium Processing Services
USCIS has made changes to premium processing for faster applications. Now counted in business days instead of calendar days, this change impacts processing speed for those in a hurry. However, premium processing may not apply to every visa type. Knowing which services qualify can be confusing, and seeking advice can help you choose the best path for your needs.
Expanded Asylum and Refugee Programs
