According to a report by Bloomberg, immigration officials have made significant strides in reducing the processing time for work permits of asylum seekers, following an unsuccessful attempt to hold the government accountable for worsening delays. Last year, the percentage of work permit applications processed by USCIS within the court-mandated 30-day timeframe dropped to less than 5% due to a surge in applications. However, as of April 2023, the figure has rebounded to 44.4%, as reported in a USCIS compliance report. This positive development is highlighted in the article available at https://news.bloomberglaw.com/immigration/asylum-seekers-notch-wins-as-work-permit-processing-times-ease?utm_campaign=HubSpot-AILA8-05-24-2023&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=259747533&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9mEgqkCJNKmsX3_oxg-kv8wvc-8slGjuxTd8KCXK9-1JgqKhFHsomNHuLfrh89guq7Z5CzpoXUVS6GtcqNFUu3qQCqzg&utm_content=259747533&utm_source=hs_email
