Immigration advocates and attorneys are concerned that the Trump admin. is “creating a bigger catastrophe” if it follows through with plans to permanently close nearly two dozen U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices across the globe.
"This will create more backlog, in an already backlogged system,” an immigration attorney said about U.S.-based offices picking up international workload.
"This is going to affect refugees, military servicemen applying for citizenship, the family reunification program," Sater, an immigration attorney based in Miami, told NBC News. Enrique Gutierrez and John Santos, media directors at the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement that"the administration's explanation that the move is an effort to cut government spending does not hold up since USCIS's funding comes primarily from fees paid by people who use its services.”Citizenship and Immigration Services, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, currently operates 23 international offices across Latin America, Europe and Asia.
The agency plans to shift these services to agency offices based in the U.S., and American consulates and embassies abroad.
