Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

Volume of cases being handled by Immigration

In 2021 they approved more than 6 million cases, denied more than 808,000 and left more than 8 million pending. I am telling you these figures so that we can understand the gigantic volumes of cases they are receiving, approving and denying. Let us not think that we are the only ones who have a backlog at Immigration.

The most backlogged cases are those of the U Visawhich continues to take five years. In-country pardons are taking two to three years. The work permits are taking 6 to 12 months to be approved.

What are the solutions?

There are three solutions:

1. Claim when the waiting time has passed in your case.
2. We can ask for it to be expedited for different reasons: for a humanitarian reason, an emergency, or a child turning 21. It is important to consult with your attorney under what circumstances it can be accelerated.
3. Immigration allows for more than one case at a time, so you can do a second or third process and speed up your entire process, so you don't have to wait so long.

It is very important that you work on these strategies with your lawyer.

How many cases are they denying?

If we divide the 808,000 cases they denied by the 6,014,000 they approved, we get 13%. They are denying more than 10% of the cases.

That makes us think about the importance of a good advice and a good preparation, because if they approve your case you are done in the U.S., but if they deny it they can put an end to your American dream. Therefore, it is very important to look for alternatives to achieve a faster approval.
