内容摘要


为什么取消休假计划

两名民主党人写信给移民局并表明移民局实际上有足够的财政资源来度过当前财政年度。这封信敦促移民局不要让任何工人休假,并等待国会的财政支持。在等待财政援助的同时,移民局决定进行“前所未有的支出削减”,而不是解散13400名员工。此外,美国移民局(USCIS)从7月起重新开设办事处后,其费用有所增加。美国公民及移民服务局打算用这两种办法来避免大约70%的员工休假。

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced that the agency will avert an administrative furlough of more than 13,000 employees, scheduled to begin Aug. 30 as a result of unprecedented spending cuts and a steady increase in daily incoming revenue and receipts.

对签证持有人的影响

尽管USCIS没有具体列出将削减哪些支出支出,但预期的运营影响总结如下。对于国际学生,预计需要更长的EAD处理时间。鉴于国会议员承诺将致力于协助USCIS,因此希望USCIS在接下来的几个月中可以从国会获得援助资金。

  • 与美国公民及移民服务局联系中心的待决案件查询的等待时间增加
  • 申请处理时间更长
  • 外国人调整身份或入籍的裁决时间增加

“However, averting this furlough comes at a severe operational cost that will increase backlogs and wait times across the board, with no guarantee we can avoid future furloughs. A return to normal operating procedures requires congressional intervention to sustain the agency through the fiscal year 2021,” said USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow.

美国公民及移民服务局决定不解散其劳动力,但将削减开支,这将增加案件处理时间。由于EAD USCIS的处理时间会更长,因此鼓励国际学生尽早申请OPT / STEM OPT,以便有足够的时间来接收EAD(就业授权文件)卡。但是鉴于美国公民及移民服务局自6月以来已多次更改其计划,将来看你会有更多的更新和变更。因此,我希望学生不要对单个新闻感到沮丧或沮丧。
