Government Eases Pause on Certain Work Permits, Medical Requests, and Other Procedures
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
After more than three months, the U.S. government has eased the pause on some immigration applications for citizens from 39 countries deemed high-risk, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that among the immigration processes resuming are certain naturalization ceremonies, work permit requests, asylum applications, and requests related to medical professionals. In an alert on its website, USCIS provided an update on the rigorous evaluation and verification processes implemented since the beginning of Donald Trump's second term, reiterating that they found 'deficiencies' that led to some applications being approved despite not meeting the criteria. As part of the recent measures, USCIS indicated that it has established an internal process to lift suspensions on individual or group cases, which requires thorough review by multiple offices.
