U.S. Government Accounting Office (GAO) Demands USCIS to Increase
Actions for Permanent Resident Petitions
The latest GAO report to the Congress thoroughly reviews current
procedure of processing and adjudication of permanent resident
applications, identified frauds and potential terrorists, and
vulnerability of current system of processing and adjudication of
green card applications, and recommends the USCIS actions to reinforce
agency procedures toure integrity of the green card processing and
adjudication system.
The USCIS has generally agreed to the report and its willingness and
commitment to work on devices that can enhance integrity of its
processing procedures.
It is interesting to note that in the past, immigration benefits
system focused on the issues involving frauds and other issues that
had affected integrity of the applications of the alien beneficiaries,
but this report raises serious loopholes in adjudication of petitions
filed by the employers without sufficient mechanisms including site
visits that can enhance the integrity of the processing system against
the vulnerability of frauds and terrorists.
The year 2009 may be marked as the year of integrity for both labor
certification and USCIS green card processing and adjudication
process. This is contrasted to the focus and attention one time given
to the immigration system improvement towards elimination of
"backlogs" leading to enactment of AC-21 legislation in the late 1990s
and early 2000s.
