Friends, what are the biggest changes we should expect in immigration in 2021?
We're also excited about the new year, but how is it going to really
impact immigration? Watch this video for the top six things that will likely happen in
immigration in 2021. [inaudible]
Guys, thanks so much for watching this video and welcome to McBean immigration TV,
where I break down the latest immigration news that is likely to impact your case. And I also
give you tips guys on how to win this immigration battle. Why so that you guys can live happily
to gather videos are uploaded each week, and I invite you to subscribe and hit that notification
bell. So you don't miss out on anything. All right. So immigration changes under Biden. I've
talked about it and these videos that I'm going to link here, and we know that there are a lot
of changes that are coming in 2021 to immigration. But the question is what are the biggest things,
the biggest things that will impact you, right? Or your relative or someone you care about. And
so in this video, I'm going to give you my top six things for what we can expect to see in 2021.
All right. If you're ready type in below in the comment, I'm ready. Let's go. I'm so ready for
2021. And I'm so excited guys. I want you to stick around all the way until the end
for the sixth thing that I think will happen in 2021 in immigration, because it directly impacts
you. So stick around all the way until the end. All right. So the first thing that we could
expect to see in 2021 with immigration is embassy reopenings and you might be saying, well, a toy.
My embassy has already reopened. What I'm talking about. Friends is policy statement from the state
department saying that embassies should resume normal processing of immigrant visas.
And certainly non-immigrant visas. We want to see a wide scale announcement or policy directive
from the state department in Washington, DC that says that embassies can operate as normal, not on
some glacial pace that they're on currently. And in some cases they're not even really
operating in a way that makes sense, right? Certainly the state department will give
difference to the embassy with respect to Corona virus, right? Like how bad are things on the
ground with Corona virus in that particular city or country? Right? Of course the embassy closure
should be considered in that light. But if you have countries with extremely low coronavirus
rates, like some countries in Africa, right? Why should those embassies still be operating
at a glacial pace? What we can expect in 2021 is that embassies will reopen and resume normal
processing. The second thing that we could expect to see in 2021 is public charge going away. Yes,
I have said in previous videos that public charge will not go away overnight. And it just won't
because it has to go through an official rulemaking process and that takes time.
But what we can expect to see in 2021 is the Biden administration starting that process. And
who knows, hopefully by the end of 2021 public charge will be completely off the table. And
also guys, one thing you should know is that the agency I S has the power or the ability to scale
back on public charge through its own policies. So I expect to see the new public charge rules
go away. The third thing that we could expect to see in 2021 friends is a shift in resources. What
am I talking about here? Well, I'm talking about the fact that under the Trump administration,
a lot of money was poured into ice, which is the law enforcement agency of the
department of Homeland security. And so a lot of resources were put into eyes. A lot of resources
were put into building a border wall. A lot of resources were put into deportation
proceedings and such. And so what I expect to see in 2021 is that the overflow of resources will
shift from those initiatives to other programs and such. So let's keep an eye out for that in 2021.
The fourth thing that we could expect to see in 2021 guys is with respect to the travel ban,
right? And I've talked about this in the past that the new Biden administration has already committed
to getting rid of the travel bans. And so what we can expect in 2021 is that the presidential
proclamation, which is keeping so many people in the family preference system from coming in, we're
expecting to see that that proclamation will go away. Now, the question is, well, a Toya, when is
it going to go away bright? Because right now it's slated to expire on December 31st, 2020, but I've
heard you say that well, it's likely or possible that Trump can extend this into January.
And certainly he can extend it into January, but he has an expiration date. Guys. Trump has
an expiration date attached to him right now. And that date is January 20th, 2021. So that
proclamation will expire either by that point or if he has a later expiration date on it,
the Biden administration can get rid of that on day one. So that's the fourth change that we could
expect in 2021. The fifth change that we could expect in 2021 has to do with more immigration
filings. I expect that the pace will pick up in 2021, uh, people who are filing for immigration
benefits, as you guys know, there was a big decline in applications and petitions to U S
C I S, which ultimately led to the major budget problems that they face during 2020. And they
were threatened furlough for a number of months, for a low in their staff because of the money
problems that they were facing, which arose out of fewer people, applying for an immigration benefit
because people were afraid. People were so terrified of applying,
right? And so fewer people did apply. And then also the agency had all of these bad policies that
prevented people from applying any way it hindered them, I should say, from applying any way. So
the fault certainly was on the administration's part, but what we can expect to see in 2021
is that more people will submit their adjustment of status application. Their marriage petition,
this [inaudible] petition, and some other applications are likely to be put into the
system for an immigration benefit. And the last thing guys that we can expect to see in 2021 is
processing times may change, may change. And I left this one for the very end, because I still
have a question Mark over this one, right? And the reason why I'm not that certain that process in
times will change or improve or get better. Things will happen faster for us and for you
is because the agency is historically slow, right? Historically slow us, CIS doesn't process
applications and petitions very quickly. And certainly there was a slow down over the last few,
couple of years. So the things that were causing the slow down, right, the operational issues right
behind the scenes that we, none of us see and know about really. But those things are likely
to maybe get a little better in 2021 because of a new administration is coming on board and they
have different priorities around immigration and us CIS as an agency is not supposed to be
a law enforcement type of agency that Trump tried to turn it into. No, it is
an agency with the sole function of processing immigration benefit applications. Right? And
we're going to see some things maybe behind the scenes at the agency shift that will allow them to
maybe process our applications and petitions in a better or smoother way.
