A California congressman has introduced legislation aimed at addressing the severe case backlog at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which has reportedly reached nearly 10 million cases earlier this year.

In a news release, U.S. Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Pacoima) said his Case Backlog and Transparency Act of 2022 (H.R. 9226) would establish new reporting requirements for the USCIS and Government Accountability Office “to determine the reasons for the processing delays and find potential solutions to reduce the immigration case backlog.”
