Since the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) of June 15, 2012, the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS) I-130, Petition for Alien Relatives has almost doubled (1). This has also doubled I-130 processing times from 5 months to more than 11 months (1). While over 80% of DACA applications have been approved (2), lawful citizens are having to wait long periods to be united with their families.
Americans who marry abroad cannot even bring their family back to visit. We petition you to grant I-130 beneficiaries that have surpassed the UCIS National Goal temporary 2 year multi-entry B-2 visas without regard to strong social ties to their home country.
