Cases for Venezuelans, Cubans, and Haitians Have Resumed
1 min read
A federal judge ordered the government to continue processing immigration benefit applications filed by citizens of 39 countries, including Venezuela, Cuba, and Haiti.
What Does the Decision Establish?
The decision establishes that the government cannot indefinitely suspend these applications solely based on the applicants' nationality. Among the processes that must continue are:
- Work permits
- Applications for permanent residence
- Applications for U.S. citizenship
- Asylum cases
What Does This Mean for You?
Although the government could still appeal this decision, for now it represents relief for many people who have spent months waiting for a response from USCIS.
Every immigration case is different. If you have a pending application or need guidance on how this decision could affect your process, contact our office for legal assistance.
