Good USCIS News

Some areas of the U.S., though, have already met USCIS targets for the coming year. Those filing naturalization applications in Wichita, Kansas and Yakima, Washington only have to wait five months from start to finish.

Probably most, and hopefully all, customers of USCIS are aware that they can check the status of a pending case online at www.uscis.gov. All they need is a receipt number to get the process started.

A quick reminder that the annual diversity green card lottery is ongoing until December 1. All applications have to be lodged electronically at www.dvlottery.state.gov. That site also has a complete list of instructions for applicants.

Those who are undocumented should not apply for the lottery. Perhaps with the new Democratic administration coming in January, there will be better news on a comprehensive immigration reform package that will benefit the undocumented, one of President-elect Barack Obama's campaign promises.
