According to a report by the Sing Tao Daily in the United States, the media recently disclosed that after U.S. President Obama announced an executive order on November 20 that will affect millions of undocumented immigrants, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has, in less than a day, proactively moved to expand its workforce in advance of Congress, announcing that it would recruit 1000 federal employees within 24 hours.
The report cites the Daily Mail in the UK, indicating that the USCIS's new building is poised to begin implementing Obama's executive reform plan immediately.
USCIS has announced that they are establishing a new operational center in Crystal City, near Arlington, which will accommodate approximately 1000 full-time staff, including permanent and contracted federal employees across different positions and levels. The initial work of the new operational center will include handling cases for undocumented immigrant applications. Authorities will announce recruitment details in the coming days.
