#immigration

USCIS announced a historic achievement in FY 2023 with over 192,000 employment-based immigrant visas issued, reducing backlogs by 15%. The agency streamlined naturalization processes, reducing waiting times for citizenship applications.

USCIS supported U.S. employers by extending the Employment Authorization Document validity to five years and clarifying eligibility for various immigration services. New technology solutions enhanced customer experiences, including online biometrics appointment rescheduling and address changes.

In FY 2024, USCIS aims to maintain processing times, propose modernization rules for the H-1B program, and implement new online filing tools. The agency achieved these milestones within the constraints of its 2016 fee schedule.

Georgia Immigrant Communities Fear Mass Deportations Under New Trump Term

Georgia

#deport

Georgia's immigrant communities are bracing for mass deportations as President-elect Trump plans the largest deportation program in U.S. history. Atlanta’s Hispanic community held a town hall to address fears, especially among mixed-status families.

Trump has proposed using the military to enforce deportations, invoking the Insurrection Act, though legal experts question its applicability. Recent events, including the murder of a nursing student by an undocumented Venezuelan, have intensified immigration debates.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 4,500 people from Atlanta this year. Experts warn such measures could harm civil liberties and traumatize immigrant communities, reminding them of the hardships they fled.

Concordia University Launches Institute to Enhance Migration Research and Support Newcomers

Canada

#immigration

#study

Concordia University has introduced the Institute for Research on Migration and Society (IRMS) in Montreal. The institute aims to study immigration impacts, provide evidence-based research, and foster dialogue to assist newcomers in Canada.

IRMS is a bilingual hub addressing Quebec’s unique migration dynamics, including inter-provincial emigration and policy collaboration. Key projects include improving social sustainability in immigration and creating Quebec’s first dedicated immigration research network.

Quebec’s control over immigration pathways, such as suspensions on key PR programs and a new cap limiting admissions by country, highlights the need for such research. Federal pathways remain viable for skilled and French-speaking workers.
