$20 mm provided in the Omnibus Appropriation Bill to reduce NC backlog

[richshi]

I just read the Omnibus Spending Bill, found this:

FBI Background Check Backlog
The Committees on Appropriations provide $20,000,000 for reduction of the FBI
name check backlog as proposed by the Senate and instead of no funding proposed by the
House. The Director of USCIS is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations
on plans to eliminate the backlog of FBI name checks, as discussed in the Senate report.

That's very interesting. Many sites reported nothing concrete was realized for immigration in omnibus bill. If 20 mil were appropriated for clearing NC backlog, that's fantastic news.

Could you share the source of this news? Thanks for the info.
