United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that a Trump-era US immigration rule, which requires the spouses of US work visa holders to be fingerprinted and photographed to access work permits, will be suspended. Critics of the rule argue that it causes ‘months-long delays’ in processing applications.
USCIS has confirmed that biometric screening requirements for H4 and L2 visa holders – issued to spouses of H1B and L1 visa holders – will be suspended from May 17 while a review is carried out.
The suspension comes amid a lawsuit filed against USCIS, which claims that the immigration agency’s delays in issuing work permits are illegal. The lawsuit, filed in Seattle in March, claims a 2019 rule requiring applicants to attend an interview and provide biometrics had made it ‘impossible’ for many visa holders to avoid gaps in their employment.
