Key Points:
BAL Analysis: USCIS continues to work through a backlog that has slowed processing times for immigration benefits and has committed to restoring reasonable processing times. In its report, the agency said it would need continued support from Congress and increased fee revenue to maintain its progress. Publication of the proposed fee rule is expected soon, but information is not yet available on what the proposed increases will be. BAL will provide updates as information becomes available.
