The governor of Biden enrolls a network of 380,000 people and hopes to immigrate
When, during the pandemic, we found that the school and the guarding of its houses were closed, Luwam Beyene began working in the nights to be able to stay in the house during the day. Tan pronto como llega a su casa, hace el desayuno y prepara a su hijo para su classes en línea. Beyene pointed out to his wife that he wanted to be able to work at night. “I’m sure to have a siesta,” said Beyene, 29, who works as a nurse in San Francisco. “My life is a friend below. My only hope is that I can get my money ”. Beyene’s species is an Ethiopian that hopes to recover its migratory visa, a process that includes antecedents from the coronavirus pandemic and has delayed more than two years in the case of a permanent resident of the United States. It was held in the final judgment, no more in the hope of an interview in person with a consular officer, when the first pass, due to the pandemic, closes in a temporary manner the United States consuls. “It’s all paralyzed and never more of them,” Beyene said. The United States Consulate annually organizes approximately one million immigrant visas, the majority of them to the conjoined, married and patriarchal citizens and permanent residents. In April, the president of Donald Trump, the mayor of the mayoral party of the immigration was legally suspended – with the exception of the legal conditions – with the pretext of the protege los empleos estadounidenses. Now, President Joe Biden has promised to open the gates of the country and has given signs that will eliminate the restrictions on refugees, extraneous workers and asylum seekers. Per the veto, along with a staff shortage in all world consulates and logistical retaliation related to the pandemic, occurred in the early twentieth century thousands of people who could qualify to obtain visas, such as Beyene’s spouse; is a response that immigration specialists advise that a burden of many years be placed on the system. Last month, an official of the State Department said in the federal tribunal that, as of December 31, more than 380,000 applicants for an immigrant visa would be seeking a visit to the consulate. The signaling experts that desahogar todas esas solicitudes podría late have one year in normal circumstances. This week, in an interview with reporters to discuss Biden’s most recent decrees on immigration matters, the governing body’s officials declined to comment as soon as possible to suspend the edicts that preclude entry, and to issue a statement. . If the prohibition is withdrawn, instructions will be given to those consulted in order to renew the visa process. For data on visa processing and recent evaluations by the Department of State, please note the activities of Indian consulates that are currently in the process of processing visas. An official of the Department of State said in a statement to a federal tribunal that many consular institutes have “many staffs” and that tenants have problems programming the interviews and persona to all adult applicants, requiring the provisions of the United States of America of visado. During the pandemic, it was indicated to the consuls that processes vis-à-vis the subordinate population of immigrants that would not be excluded — principally the conjugates and the heirs of citizens of the state— a small number of their visas and they were dispatched approximately a third of the speed with which the dispatcher anticipated the pandemic. Defendants of immigration immigration believe that Trump’s governor has made a deliberate slowdown, and there are evidence that visa deportation appeals have been diverted. Pero the Department of State and the former consular officers commented that the conspiracy theorists were legitimately challenged by the COVID-19 offense. The in-person interviews to obtain a visa, the cues are used with the fin to detect fraud and arrange for security, are made by diplomats who work with men in blind offices to get rid of antibody crystals. Chris Richardson, a consular officer who is a specialist in immigration, recorded the consular section of Lagos, Nigeria, as a malfunctioning space where the coronavirus could propagate to facilities. “Every consular section … does not have an imaginary powder”, commented. During the pandemic, consuls were able to march on mediocre public health materials that included physical distance in the living rooms and a minor number of interviews at different times. “These middle-aged workers have temporarily reduced the capacity to process visas in many of our facilities,” said a State Department official who represented the department. This signaling officer reports that the consular services in the foreign country can renew the normal operation depending on many “local conditions” of the pandemic, which include the amount of COVID-19 cases, the ability to respond to emergence, the availability of commercial avenues and restrictions on local roads. “We are working to help maintain the normal levels of staff and workload in the antiseptic visa dispatch in all our official offices as soon as possible, at the same time as we protect the health and safety of our labor force and our users ”, said the official of the State Department. Experts insure that the response follows that the new government will withdraw the immigration ban and resell it to issue visas and places where there are many cases of COVID-19. The consular officers advised that, including in this case, the shortage of staff, an insufficient supply and the implicit contractionary restrictions that we would later have to resolve the matter. When it comes to the personal needs, many consultants have one of the officials who expedite immigrant visas, which by the general is sufficient for the demand to be so great, but in no way is it necessary to resolve this issue to same time as siguen receiving more solicitudes. “That’s the only thing you can do,” said Brett Bruen, a consular officer and member of Obama’s National Security Council. “Immigration visas are very long overdue”. As a result of the elimination of abuses during the years of Trump and a recent suspension of contracts, an inevitable source of bottlenecks in the system could be reduced by staff shortages. The Estadounidense del Exterior Service, the union of diplomats, warns of recent failures regarding staff salutes, and warns that the provisions of the directive and the lack of opportunities institute expulsion to the employees of the Exterior Service. In June, The New York Times reported that many black diplomats were refusing to suffer discrimination. Others will be reprimanded for responding to Trump’s politicians’ policies. According to the Office of Human Resources of the Department of State, in the last four years, the Exterior Service and the Public Administration will lose a total of 408 employees who are established apostates in the foreign sector, approximately 4.5 per cent of the labor force the extranjero. “Lots of them are consular,” Bruen said. “These tend to have repercussions.” In addition to the staff shortage, consulates face a precarious crisis. Consular activities are funded by taxes that are levied to process visas — including tourism and other visas that are not immigrant — that total $ 3,500 million a year. As a consequence of the pandemic, the officials of the Department of State prevent losses of around 1400 million dollars in 2020 and continued losses until the month of 2022. Including the Congress assigning financial financing for emergencies, no one will be notified immediately. “It’s a very long time to incorporate new employees,” said Bruen. With some exceptions, comments, more than two months will pass before the new diplomats approve the examination of the external service and the term of the capacity and approval of security required. “Creo que los rezagos seguirán por un buen tiempo”. Bruce Morrison, a Connecticut expatriate who, in 1990, edited the ultimate immigration reform, classified the response and the situation in the consulates as “a collapse of the system.” According to Boundless, a company of Seattle-based immigration immigration services, in anticipation of the pandemic, the conjugation of state citizens, who are among the most sought-after visa applicants of the immigration system, I hope to see you through . Immigration specialists and consular executives mention that the actual response will be summarized at least one year before the process for the new applicants. “It means that the people who initiate the process at this moment tend to be hoping for a much longer time… more than anything else,” Richardson said. At the end of the retreat, the defenders of the immigrants are impulsive important changes in the visa application process. The first of his suggestions is to eliminate the interview in person, as he has had other Western countries, among them Canada, the United Kingdom and many European countries. “The personal interviewer included a mythical character in the United States visa application process,” wrote Bethany Milton, an exterior of the External Service, in an opinion piece on which it is requested in this case. . “Everything is more difficult to justify in this digital age,” he wrote. Consular defenders and officials have suggested that they distance themselves from all immigrant visa applicants and that it is possible for the interviewers to list categories of immigrants within the numbers in their municipalities, such as fraud cases. persons over 65 years of age or specific persons, at the behest of the consular officer. However, the official of the Department of State confirms that he has a reason for contacting the person. This official commented that “consular officers are trained to analyze all available information”, including the corporate body of the applicant and the words that he elects, which serve to evaluate possible risks for national security.
