USCIS and FBI: The reason why thousands of migrants are receiving new immigration appointments, according to a lawyer

Thousands of migrants in the United States are being called back for new appointments with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This measure stems from additional background checks performed by the FBI. The purpose of these re-appointments is to confirm that no significant changes have occurred in the migrants' backgrounds since their initial fingerprinting, according to migration lawyer Jesús Suday.USCIS is re-contacting migrants to verify their backgrounds and biometric data. Many recipients of these new notices expressed concern about potential denials of their applications. However, Suday explained that this is part of a confirmation process. The USCIS seeks to ensure that no new immigration violations, criminal records, or other significant developments have emerged.This background verification process is causing delays in various immigration applications. Numerous cases are on hold while authorities confirm biometric data and backgrounds of individuals who have already attended their initial appointments. Despite the delays, Suday noted that these enhanced checks could potentially expedite some immigration cases in the long run.He advised all migrants to attend these new USCIS appointments to avoid further complications. Failure to appear could lead to additional delays or the complete abandonment and denial of their applications. The affected migrants include those with pending applications for citizenship, asylum, DACA, and permanent residency. USCIS and the FBI have increased immigration controls through expanded access to FBI databases.

What is intended is to confirm that since the last fingerprints, there are no new immigration records, criminal records, or any type of significant change.
