In FY2021, 260,000 employment-based (EB) green cards are available - 85% additional EB green cards vs normal years. If these are not issued by Sep 30 2021, they will be lost. USCIS is not moving at the speed required to issue all available EB green cards.
Preventing the loss requires rescinding 2 executive orders issued by the Trump admin that take up significant time in EB green card adjudication. This will free up huge USCIS capacity.
The EOs are -
1) The interview mandate
Go back to pre-Trump approach. Interviews for employment-based green card should not be mandatory and instead should be done only for suspected fraud.
2) The public charge evaluation
This evaluation is unnecessary for employment-based green card applicants who are holding steady jobs for more than a decade.
