As I’ve been saying, while this current administration is in charge we will be left in this limbo. Fortunately, a new government is coming up soon.

@C M So it means we can see some positive changes with the new government?

For Religious Workers, I think, yes.

My statement is based on the following thinking. Religious workers used to have their cases processed in 9 months on average. We have seen a delay in the decisions after the government changed the priority date by 5 years to prioritize the processing of the cases of juveniles from the border crisis back in 2018 (and other asylum seekers). Since religious workers only use 800-1.000 out of the 10.000 available visas to EB-4 category. The juveniles were about 600.000+ cases. The new government probably will recognize the religious workers as a minority in this category and process their cases at a normal pace. That's my foresee.

@C M That would be really great. Separate the R1 from asylum. It’s an employment based category !!!

Yes, I think they should move RW to a different category within the employment based categories.

@C M I hope so.

We wait until February to see visa bulletin what they changes. Bcuz new government comes into operation

what do we do? Who do we write to complain, where shall we seek help? let's come together and air our issues, maybe we will get help.

yes Religious workers are just bearing this torture from USCIS. No one seems to care please unite and talk to your congressman about the helpless situation we are in
