Immigrant Victims Left Waiting After U.S. Reaches U Visa Cap | Bergen County Employment Immigration Lawyers | Ridgewood Citizenship Law Firm

After only two months, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials have already filled the 10,000 visas available this year. Every year since the visa program began in 2008, USCIS has hit the maximum number of visas available, but this year is the fastest the limit has been reached. Reaching the visa cap so soon after the year started is a sign that lawmakers need to increase the number of visas available to help the victims.
