True. Alright. So you know, the immigration world is still going through a lot of madness. Specifically, there are delays at the embassies. When I was looking at the statistics for the embassy backlog, I noticed a change. The Department of State announced that they will no longer use the term 'documentarily qualified' or 'DQ'. Instead, they will use 'documentarily completed' or 'DC'. So, if you have a case pending with the National Visa Center and it's done, that's what it will be called. However, for the cases that have been in conprocessing for immigrant visas or green cards, they were considered 'documentarily completed'. There is still a backlog of 550,000 cases, but now it's closer to 450,000, which seems like an improvement. Nevertheless, there are statistics that show before the pandemic started, the backlog was much smaller, around 45,000 or 30,000, which are ridiculously low numbers. So, the backlog is still pretty terrible. On a positive note, some embassies are starting to open up. Allegedly, the U.S. government is going to ease up and allow people who have received COVID vaccines to enter the United States, bypassing travel bans. Additionally, there have been successful lawsuits, such as the Kinsley case, where a federal court ruled that a travel ban does not prevent a visa from being issued, it only prevents entry into the United States. For example, if you're in Germany, which is currently subject to a COVID ban, the embassies have not been conducting tourist visa interviews. However, the court's ruling suggests that at the very least there should be an interview and the visa should be approved, subject to the travel ban. This would give foreign individuals the opportunity to leave Germany, go to a different country like Turkey or Mexico, wait for two weeks, and then...
