Worrisome’: US visa delays hit all-time high, 11.3 million cases pending

USCIS faces mounting immigration case backlogs, reaching 11.3 million pending applications due to Trump administration policies slowing processing for fraud detection.

While some categories show slight improvement, staffing shortages and policy choices contribute to the delays, potentially impacting the legal immigration system.
