Biden’s pick Ur Jaddou confirmed to lead USCIS; improved EB-5 processing is a priority

The Senate has confirmed the president’s choice — and the first woman — to lead U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Jaddou’s confirmed leadership follows years of acting officials under the Trump administration. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated, “She will administer our Nation’s immigration system fairly and justly.” In what will be music to the EB-5 community’s ears, Jaddou has declared that efficient processing is one of her priorities: “USCIS must process applications fairly, efficiently, and in a humane manner; be accessible, transparent, and accountable.”See CNN article
