In the United States, immigration discussions continue to focus on modernization and backlog reduction. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has expanded online filing for more visa categories, aiming to increase efficiency. Updates in 2025 include adjustments to employment-based visa allocations and ongoing reforms to the H-1B specialty occupation visa selection process, with greater emphasis on fairness and anti-fraud measures. The government is also working on measures to reduce family-based visa backlogs and accelerate naturalization. Immigration remains a highly debated topic in Congress, with proposed reforms under review.
