As per #USCIS, for the 2023 cap year, out of a total of 780,884 applications, 408,891 have multiple registrations. This is fraud at a scale that's just unfathomable. #H1B

Two of my boys and I were playing around with the #USCIS #citizenship #test study guide and we unleashed some sarcastic cackling when we came upon this gem:

76 new U.S. citizens from 32 countries will be honored during a special Independence Day naturalization ceremony aboard the USS Hornet on June 30.

The #USCIS phone system is easily the worst I've ever interacted with. It literally threatens to hang up on you if you ask for a person, even if it has no way to address your inquiry. The only way to reach someone is to say the right keywork like "infopass" or "reschedule appointment".

"Veteran returns to the U.S. after 14-year exile under Biden effort to rectify 'unjust' deportations"
"The U.S. government has no official accounting of how many deported veterans remain overseas, since it failed to record these cases for many years. However, the number is believed to be at least in the hundreds. The Biden administration program has already received over 300 inquiries..." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/deported-veteran-returns-to-us-biden-laura-meza/ #USA #PTSD #rape #USCIS #military #migrants #veterans #deportation #immigration

It’s curtains for #H1B 2024. True to form, #USCIS has not yet bothered to release the number of registrations. The opacity of the system really is appalling.

Wow. I knew #USCIS processing times were long but just wow.

Given that $25 million raked in and the tiny number of visas granted, the humanitarian parole program for Afghans is, according to the lawyer for this case, “essentially a scam,” and I cannot disagree. #Refugees #USCIS

I am quite amused by the thought of Bolsanaro filling out DS-160 and related paperworks to extend his US tourist visa. Oh man, all of those yes/no questions, sure they can get him on violation of any one of them. Have you used post office? Answer: Yes. F***, you are guilty of mailing. #immigration #uscis

#USCIS is trying to increase the application fees for #immigration processes by several hundred dollars. Many folks applying do not have work permits and the application fees will be a financial burden. Please leave a comment opposing the increases here ⬇️

The new #DHS #USCIS #PublicCharge #PublicChargeRules are on Pages 13 and 14 of form I-485 #I485.

It is essentially a stripped down version of the old #Trump-introduced form I-944 which the #Biden administration trashed in 2021.

They want to know now your annual household income and your debts (liabilities) as well as EVERY social benefit you ever received in the United States.

#Greencard
You can preview the new form at https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/Preview_12-23-22_Edition_USCIS_WILL_REJECT_IF_FILED_BEFORE_12-23-22_Form_I-485.pdf

I can't with these dorks at #USCIS and their new green card application form. The I-864 affidavit of support already prevents intending immigrants from becoming "public charges" because of the sponsor deeming rule! Hello?!?!

#immigration #publiccharge

The #USCIS reintroduces public charge rules.

Quick memory refresh: The #Trump administration introduced form I-944 which green card applications needed to fill out. And applicants needed to file their complete financial status. All accounts, real estate ownership etc.

The #Biden administration trashed it - but it comes back.

The form I-485 "Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status" has a new edition from 12/23/2022 containing this.
