DOS Announces Priority Tiers for Immigrant Visa Applications
- By : Abbas Law PLLC Date : 04-May-21
The U.S. Department of State has announced a system to prioritize certain Immigrant Visa applications at U.S. Embassies and Consulates worldwide, in an effort to reduce the backlog of cases due to COVID-19 operational issues. Even with this system, however, the processing of cases at each U.S. Embassy or Consulate will still largely depend on local and country conditions and other government-imposed restrictions.
