The Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman) issued formal recommendations to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for improving family-based petition routing procedures and preventing post-approval delays.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Since 2021, the CIS Ombudsman has submitted two informal proposals to USCIS about this issue which led the agency to implement procedural changes. However, the department noted that more could be done by the agency to address the remaining issues. If implemented, the recommendations will help petitioners complete the form more accurately while helping the agency reduce misdirected petitions, increase efficiency and avoid unintentional burdens on the public. Past recommendations made to USCIS by the department can be found here.
