Check Case Processing Times

The processing time range is how long it is taking for USCIS to process your type of case from the date they received it. USCIS processes cases in the order they receive them, and they normally update this information monthly. The estimated time range displayed is based on data captured over the last two months.

Celebrating Labor Day – Federal Holiday

by Kellie N. Lego

“The basic bargain of America is that no matter who you are, where you come from or what you look like, if you work hard & play by the rules, you can make it.” — Former Dept. of Labor Secretary Tom Perez

The Labor Day holiday in United States is celebrated the first Monday in September. Labor Day was really created by the national labor movements to celebrate the American worker and their achievements, both social and economic! Each of us that work every day, immigrant or citizen, this is our celebration! For more information about the history of Labor Day review the Department of Labor’s (DOL) web page, “History of Labor Day“.

MVP Law Group would like to thank workers worldwide for their contributions to our society!

“I do not know what happened to the others”: Trump’s third country deportations spark global debate

by Kellie N. Lego

On Thursday, August 20^th a plane flew from the United States to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa to deport 20 migrants! There was a problem, 5 of the passengers decided they did not want to go to Liberia, so the U.S. government flew them next to Equatorial Guinea! This is part of the Trump Administration’s policy to deport to a third country, not their own country of origin. Since early last year, the Trump Administration has deported more the 23,000 people to 26 third countries.

For further details please review the Politico news article, ““I do not know what happened to the others”: Trump’s third country deportations spark global debate“!
