United States Federal, State, and County courts are using digital resources such as zoom and skype to conduct legal proceedings, hearings, and even trials for the safety and security of judges, attorneys, and litigation parties due to the coronavirus. These changes have been in effect since March of 2020 due to the coronavirus.
However, the US Immigration policies have not been updated, or even reviewed, to allow for the same procedures for immigration. Interviews are still being required to be conducted in person at the embassy for immigrant and non-immigrant visas. For some countries, this requires extensive travel for applicants and beneficiaries, and face-to-face interviews with US embassy staff. I am requesting that the same digital platforms should be available for immigration.
