tl;dr: 망했어요.

Officials at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a fee-funded agency, told employees in recent days that a significant drop off in application processing due to the novel coronavirus pandemic has led to an unexpected loss in revenue, potentially leaving the agency unable to meet payroll. USCIS is asking Congress for a $1.2 billion cash injection to help offset the losses, saying it will increase its fees by 10% to reimburse the appropriation.  

 

“USCIS will exhaust its funding this summer, and without congressional intervention, we risk not being able to make payroll and will have to take drastic actions to keep the agency afloat.”

About 1,000 employees in the Kansas City area working for the National Benefits Center, an agency under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, received notice on Friday that their jobs face elimination in what would be one of the largest mass layoffs of the year for the region.

 

NBC는 485 처리의 핵심적인 역할을 하는 곳입니다. 485가 로컬오피스로 가기전에 485 기본 수속을 여기서 하고요. 로컬오피스로 넘기는 것도 NBC에서 핸들링 합니다. 그리고 NBC로 접수된 (접수번호 MSC로 시작하는) 485을 basis로 하는 콤보카드 처리도 여기서 합니다. 안그래도 수속이 지연되고 있는데 더더욱 늦어지지 않을까 우려되네요.

 

더 무서운 건 이게 시작에 불과하단 겁니다. USCIS가 furlough 되기 시작하면 이민 행정명령이고 뭐고 올 스톱 될 수 밖에 없습니다.

Furlough 30일전 공지 의무에 따라 전체 2만명의 직원 중 13400명에게 USCIS는 오늘 furlough 예고를 보냈다고 합니다.

6월 중순쯤에 자금난으로 인해 카드제작 공장과의 계약 연장이 불발되었다고 합니다. 현재 Ky에 있는 카드공장은 3주전에 카드 발급이 중단 되었고 MO에 있는 공장은 reduced capacity로 동작중이라고 합니다. USCIS에 의하면 현재 약 5만개의 그린카드와 7.5만개의 EAD 생산이 밀려있다고 합니다.

Senate Appropriations Committee Vice Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) and Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security Ranking Member Jon Tester (D-Mont.) Tuesday called on Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Deputy Director For Policy Joseph Edlow to postpone plans to furlough 13,000 USCIS employees after revised revenue estimates show the agency will end the fiscal year with a surplus, not the originally projected $571 million deficit.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told employees it can only delay the mandatory unpaid time off for more than 70% of its workforce if it receives emergency funding from Congress, even though an uptick in revenue has opened the possibility that it can now cover its expected expenses through September.

According to an announcement from Leahy spokesperson David Carle, Leahy has “received assurances from the Acting Director of USCIS that furloughs will be delayed for two pay periods, until Aug. 31, and that hopefully they will not be needed at all, if Congress and the President enact a COVID-5 [sic] emergency appropriations bill for the next fiscal year that addresses USCIS’s budget shortfall.”
