Should USCIS suspend processing applications if there is a recession?

If there are mass layoffs should USCIS wait until all qualified Americans are employed before bringing in foreign workers?

USCIS makes money , quite a lot by charging people for job transfers and other visa applications , at the time of recession they would probably need money ..

USCIS breaks even on fees, it doesn't make money.

Source for this, flippy? Never heard of any break even financial situation with USCIS

It’s the job of the company, not uscis’s.. in a capitalist world, it doesn’t matter who the company hires as long as they are the best and profitable for the company.. unless it’s a NGO :)

In the real world flooding the labor market with more qualified applicants than there are jobs results in unemployment and reducing that IS the job of the government.

How would reducing H1b’s by uscis is going to fix this? It would the company, who doesn’t hire anymore h1b’s (if under recession) due to lawyer fees and usics fees.. that would would cause layoffs in law firms and uscis 😉

Great way to send the USA into recession

If you got laid off then it means you are under qualified. It doesn’t make sense to stop processing requests for the qualified.

So should we therefore deport any h1b who gets laid off on the grounds that they are unqualified? No more 60 days grace period? Why do we want these unqualified h1b people in the country? Or do you want to rethink your statement and realize that layoffs are often more about the company then the employee?

Have you ever had to be in a situation where you have only 60 days to find a job or else leave your home?

why.. it’s not your country like you own it. Should we throw all americans out of europe when there is a recession

What a moronic post. What happens to the American citizens employed by foreign nationals? They lose their jobs too? Maybe you should read some basic economics before making a foolish post. But if it's a troll, well done.

I certainly would expect foreign nations to protect their own work forces. For example, I would expect India to stop issuing work visas to foreigners if there were qualified Indians available to do the job. I'd expect the same from Europe. It's the logical thing to do. Specifically here in the US DOL should stop approving LCA's and LC's if people in the same labor category and geography are being laid off at other companies.

USCIS is one one level, a high level scam. If an immigrant wanted to change jobs, it's extremely unrealistic he would wait for 4 or 5 months. They expressly want to cash in on the situation and charge some good money for the so called premium processing. Why not be a good ass and process applications in a meaningful timeframe? The same can be applied to everything needful an immigrant goes through. Don't say they don't make money lol. You never know.

So I looked at the budget. Numbers are for 2017: Budget Request: $4,018,270,000 Fees: $3,889,131,000 So fees charged to applicants did not cover USCIS cost of operations but elsewhere I read that the small shortfall represents the cost of running e-Verify which is funded by taxes (and was stopped during the shutdown). https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/budget-planning-performance
