USCIS partially resumes some immigration processing for Venezuelans in the United States
Thousands of Venezuelans in the United States could receive important news regarding their immigration cases after USCIS began partially resuming some procedures that had been paused over the last few months.
The measure also includes citizens of Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua, although authorities clarified that the processes will now be subject to much stricter security reviews.
Among the procedures that could begin to move forward again are:
* Work permits
* Asylum applications
* Some humanitarian cases
* Pending immigration processes
* Certain naturalization ceremonies
However, immigration experts warn that this does NOT mean the return of the CHNV humanitarian parole program as it functioned previously.
According to recent reports, USCIS is implementing new controls and additional verifications, which could cause many cases to take longer to receive a response.
Thousands of Venezuelan families had been waiting months for updates on their immigration processes, so this news has generated both hope and uncertainty at the same time.
For now, authorities recommend that each person review their case individually and stay alert for future official updates.
