Updated 01/03/03: Continuing Deterioration of Adjudication of Immigration Benefit Petitions/Applications
The statistics which INS has just released reflects that the adjudication of immigration benefit cases (I-130, I-765, I-485, I-90, etc) has continued its downward spiral for the month of November 2002. Applications and petitions for immigration benefits in November 2002 decreased 21 percent compared to the number received in November 2001. November approvals were down 25 percent, while denials increased by 25 percent when compared to November 2001. On the other hand, total immigration application pending cases (backlog) reached 4,601,778, a 14% increase or approximately 600,000 increase when compared to November 2001. Considering the fact that in November 2001, the adjudication was already affected negatively by the 9/11 incidents, the November 2002 statistics indicates that the adjudication of the immigration cases is continuing its course of deterioration. Considering the recent halt of adjudication of all the I-485 cases, the next month statistics will look more "dramatic" when it comes to approval figures. Please read on.
