USCIS Has Reached FY 2007 Cap for Special Immigrant Translators

The USCIS announced late last week that it has received enough petitions requesting special immigrant status form Afghani and Iraqi translators to meet it’s FY 2006 visa cap. The program allows for the immigration of up to 50 Afghani and Iraqi nationals per year who have worked directly with the U.S. Military as translators.

The USCIS will continue to accept new filings until November 17. All new filings submitted after that day will be returned to the submitter. Petitions received before this cut-off date will be processed for the next available visa cycle.
